Five Minutes, Alfie Alfie snuggles down in bed, dreams still in his little head. He dreams he's a king going out for a ride. "A dragon sleeps in front of the gate," they cried. How will they succeed in waking him up? By helping each other and lots of luck. Purchase Links UK - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Five-Minutes-Alfie-Lily-Walters/dp/1681607077 US - https://www.amazon.com/Five-Minutes-Alfie-Lily-Walters/dp/1681607077 Although Alfie starts the book abed and a sleeping dragon blocks the door, this is NOT a book for quiet time reading. This is a waking up book, where children want to hear the voices. They will stretch and wiggle, bounce and cheer as members of the kingdom come together to wake the dragon. It is a book about compassion and working together. I enjoyed the rhyming prose and the bright colors and exaggerated expressions. This is a book that Grandparents will love and every day care should own. Lily Ma
