Editor’s note: The following article is a synopsis written by staff members and volunteers of the Cary Public Library highlighting one of the suggested reading books, as determined by their staff.
This week’s book describes a classic tale of adventurous children who in the summer like to bravely “sleep out” in the back yard. Patricia Carlin’s first picture book has clear,
vivid pictures, little text which encourages looking carefully at the pages. “Alfie Is Not Afraid” brings quick chuckles and recalls of past night time experiences with tents, dogs, children, lights, and odd noises.
A fun book for lower grades and parents to share with children.
The Cary Public Library is open Monday-Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, call 532-1302.
