An Evening At Alfie's by Shirley Hughes

I found this picture book to be a bit ordinary and quite uninteresting. Firstly, the illustrations are extremely simplistic and have the look of drawings. The story itself revolves around two very young characters: a toddler named Alfie and a baby named Annie. The children's parents go out to a party for the evening and the children are left at home with a babysitter. One part of the book that I did find interesting was that the babysitter reads Alfie the Noah Arc story before bed. I was a bit surprised that the author chose to use a religious story instead of just a random children's book. Overall, I found the book to be very simple and would reccommend students read something more engagin and interesting.
