Product description

Burglar Bill is a very naughty man. Each night, he eats a stolen supper and goes out stealing things. But when he accidentally steals a baby, it turns his naughty life upside down! This hilarious tale by Janet and Allan Ahlberg is one of the best-loved picture books ever – a timeless classic that parents recognise and children love. The iconic images of swarthy Bill clutching his swag bag will stick fast in the mind, while everyone will breathe a sigh of relief as he renounces his wicked ways and turns over a new leaf!

Also available: Read and Respond activities to accompany Burglar Bill.

    This book is perfect for Young Children. Whether you choose to read alone or with an adult, Burglar Bill becomes a friend forever. This book is fantastic for beginner readers, making them want to read every day and never stop.
