When Alfie’s mum opens the front door, puts her basket with the key in it in the hall, and goes back to the street to collect the baby from the buggy, Alfie ‘gets in first’ - and slams the door. The whole street tries to solve the problem of getting into the house - but in the end it is Alfie himself whose ingenuity wins the day. In a brilliant piece of design, Shirley Hughes uses the double page spread to represent the width of the door on either side of which the two dramas unfold.
