Very cute photos of a little Steiff bear looking for a home, a sequel to Alfred the Little Bear. After investigating quite a few possibilities, including a bird's nest and an abandoned teepee made by the children, he settles on a wooden bird house, too open for birds but just right for him. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by author with a long note and a DRAWING of Alfred in a plane, . "On the next book Alfred builds an airplane and goes flying over Riga (if all goes well, we'll see!)" This idea later became the third little bear book, Alfred Goes Flying (1976).
