Alfie Atkins
An ordinary boy with a lot of imagination 💭
Alfons is an ordinary boy who lives with his father in a modern suburb anywhere in the world
He is not big. And not so strong. And he prefers not to fight either! He is happy and mischievous but can also get angry, jealous and afraid of ghosts, just like everyone else.
At Funnys Äventyr, you can play in Alfons and Milla’s hut and take a ride in the helicopter! Go into Alfie’s classroom or go up to the house where Alfies lives or down to the basement if you’re dare… Step into the kitchen and bedroom. Crawl into bed. But wait!? Sccchhh! Did you hear something growl?
