Burglar Bill

Lovely book from my childhood in the UK. Tells the story of a burgler who reforms his ways when he comes across a lovely baby. My 3 yo daughter loved this book and the illustrations. Any Ahlberg book is a gem!

Great fun to read aloud to kids. Wonderful illustrations.

I LOVED this book as a kid - it was hilarious! I've had a very difficult time finding it and was excited to finally get it here. I enjoyed reading it again with my own children and they find it pretty funny (the baby in particular) and entertaining. As a teacher and parent, I love finding books that are original, clever, and actually introduce kids to interesting characters (even if they are crooks, lol) and rich vocabulary. Still love this book!

Interesting story.

Cute book, definitely written by a European author which I hadn’t realized so I did have to explain a few of the terms used, but he loved the book overall.

Burglar Bill was my favorite book when I was a child. While it is about a Burglar it does have good moral to the story, and he does repent of his burgling ways. I was delighted to read this book again, and while it is a bit lengthy of a story for an infant, I did read it to my son.

The book is funny, wonderfully illustrated and has a lovely message. However, the Amazon s age appropriate recommendation is misleading, as the book is for older kids then 2-4. There is much text and it's fairly long. I would say it should be more like preschool till 2ns grade. Still I don't regret buying it and my four year old and i have been thoroughly enjoying it!

I loved this book when I grew up in England. My version was water damaged from when I was a child so I was excited to find it here on Amazon in the US. My daughter loves reading it too.
