Alphonse, You're Ruining the Show!
The fourth title in Daisy Hirst's popular and playful Natalie and Alphonse series featuring two adorable monster siblings.
Natalie and Alphonse are staying the night at Granny’s house – and putting on their own play! There will be red curtains, lights, and even yoghurt with sprinkles in the interval. But when Natalie tells Alphonse he can’t have a ticket and be in the show, well, Alphonse wants to go home! Granny knows just what to do... After a cosy night's sleep and a breakfast of pancakes, Natalie and Alphonse are excited to welcome Mum and Dad to their very special and marvellous theatrical performance!
From the award-winning Daisy Hirst comes a reassuring and hugely enjoyable story about a very first sleepover with Granny, and wonderfully creative and imaginative play between adorable and funny monster siblings.
