Alfie and Betty Bug — Amanda Leslie

Alfie, an endearing young elephant, and his good friend, Betty Bug, go to the park for the day. Along with their many friends, they swim, they play in the sand, and they eat delicious food. Most important of all, they make choices, and so will the children enjoying the story as they lift flaps and decide whether it is Betty Bug or Dora Duck or Casper Cat who is building that sandcastle or splashing in the water. With an unusually strong interactive quality, this huge cast of appealing characters, brightly colored art, and simple story make a book that is just right for toddlers who are starting to explore their world.
