Burglar Bill

Great fun to read aloud to kids. Wonderful illustrations.

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!

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!

Paired with his wife or vice versa-they are an awesome duo of story telling. Great illustrations, colorful, engaging to children and you will enjoy reading this book over and over again. Great read!

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!

Interesting story.
