Review Quotes

"This cheerful, series-starting podcast spin-off from DuBurke and Brooks follows young Alfie and babysitter Quentin, both portrayed with brown skin, as they take their educational alphabet adventures to the page . . . Alliterative dialogue ("I is for Alfie the illustrator! His pictures illuminate with interesting, inviting images") and thickly outlined cartooning contribute to a work that shows how earnest banter can prompt enjoyment and learning." --Publishers Weekly
