    Main description
    An unwanted prize at the Harvest Fair is rescued by Alfie, in this brand new story about the kind-hearted little boy. Alfie and Annie Rose are at the Harvest Fair where Alfie enters his masterpiece: Motor Bike Man in the under-fives painting competition. The fair is full of excitement, and Alfie checks out the prizes: a dinosaur book, a jigsaw puzzle, a bottle of green bubble bath, and a consolation prize – a rather sad looking woolly sheep. Alfie is delighted to win third prize, but dismayed to see that consolation prize winner Louise is not at all happy with the woolly sheep and dumps him crossly on the floor by her chair. Alfie knows that toys cannot understand, but secretly he thinks the sheep's feelings might be hurt. Then Alfie has a brilliant idea – one that makes everyone happy. From the Hardcover edition.
