Meet Alfie's mum. She is called Jessica Mary. She has reddish brown curly hair which often gets untidy, but Alfie likes it like that. She sometimes gets cross when she loses things or when there are too many toys lying all over the floor. But she is extra specially good at making up pretend games and reading stories.
Here are two stories about Alfie and his Mum, and their adventures together.
Vere's playful, minimalist illustrations are just right for this quiet story. Some might wonder how the cat will cope with a new moon, but everyone will be rooting for Max, and hoping he returns in another adventure.
