A classic!! - By: Claire, 17 Feb 2008 
This book is one of the lasting memories of my childhood & luckily I still have the same copy from back then that I can now read to my own children. My youngest is 2 & she sometimes lacks the patience to wait for me to read alll the text before jumping ahead to the next page but the charming illustrations enable her to have a good grasp of the story anyway. She loves the Burglar Cat & Burglar Baby.
It will always have pride of place on my bookshelf as it holds lovely memories for me & I hope my children look back on it with fondness in the years to come too.
the ahlbergs at their best - By: Mr. Ian A. Macfarlane, 15 Mar 2007 The story of Burglar Bill, Burglar Betty & the baby was a great favourite with my children 30 years & more ago, & it's still a great favourite now that the generation moves on. Burglar Bill is not at alll alarming, just the opposite, & it's nice that he finds happiness with Burglar Betty in the end. The pictures are lovely & the text is simple,direct & kindly.
Burglar Bill by Janet Ahlberg - By: G. Paterson, 04 Dec 2006 My son loved this book. From an early age he'd ask for it to be read to him. I've bought this book for friends children, nieces & nephews & alll have enjoyed it as much as my son when he was young. A lovely simple story with a morale that encourages interest in books & reading.
I'LL 'AVE THAT! - By: Ek Stewart, 17 Feb 2006 I adored this book as a child & would ask my Grandmother to read it over & over again.
The story of a burglar like nobody else can tell it. Bill spends his days sleeping & his nights as a master criminal burglar! He will steal anything, baked beans, a toothbrush, a basket!!! Until one night he picks up more than he bargained for!
This is definitely one for children of alll ages. You & your child will laugh so much at the super silly Burglar Bill!
Childrens classic - By: , 02 Jul 2005 I read this book over & over again as a child & adored it. I am now buying a copy for a friend's baby son. Not too cutesy, just a wonderful innocent book. Every kid should have this.
