Bookroo's summary

At the Harvest Fair, young Alfie enters his painting, 'Motorbike Man,' in a competition. As prizes are awarded, not everyone is pleased, especially with the consolation prize—a woolly sheep. When Louise, the recipient, discards it, Alfie feels a pang of empathy. But with a spark of creativity, he devises a plan that turns disappointment into joy, ensuring everyone leaves the fair with a smile. What ingenious idea does Alfie come up with to save the day?
