Summary from Bloomsbury
Alfie Rabbit is helping his mummy in the garden. His world turns from real to imagined, as a gatefold spread is opened. Now he's in the jungle! He's a lion on the prowl, an elephant spraying water from his trunk, and a little bird flying home to his nest . . . to have a nap with Mummy! - See more at: http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/alfie-in-the-garden-9781408839522/#sthash.yylfEYdb.dpuf

Nayu's thoughts    
I'm a huge Debi/bunny/all cute things fangirl, making this book perfect for me . No wasn't in my vocabulary when it came to seeing this book for review. As ever Debi has both a way with words and illustrations, which opens up the world of having fun with a loved one in the garden. I went aww on every page, and cheered Alfie on as he helped out as best he could. 

The love between Alfie and his mother is clear, and hopefully younger readers will want to do what Alfie does, which includes kind deeds and having fun. I'd love to have a series of Alfie, with him helping inside the house and having other adventure.
