Join Alfie as he waits impatiently for his new sibling to arrive in this charming and funny picture book about the baby growth process - which includes an illustrated baby growth chart on the back of the book jacket!

Hello Baby, It's Me, Alfie is an engaging story where Alfie eagerly anticipates the arrival of his new sibling. Follow Alfie and his enthusiastic narration from six weeks, when his sibling is just a tiny lemon pip, to their much-awaited arrival into the world at forty weeks, when they are a big pumpkin!

This funny and informative picture book tracks the growth stages of a baby, with helpful fruit and vegetable comparisons, and teaches how to be a good big sibling to a new baby.
