    I loved this book when I was a kid and now I have a baby myself I just had to get Burglar Bill to read to my son, he may only be 5 months now and not understand exactly what’s going on in the story..🤔 but I’m sure he’ll love reading it just as I did over the next few years 👍👍

  • Tradition and Funny

    A lovely traditional book and enjoyable for adults to read too. 4 year old and 3 year old both loved it. Needed to explain a few words and phrases that were a bit old fashioned or new to them but that didn’t matter. They thought the storyline was really funny. It is quite long in comparison to our other bedtime stories.
