Premium Review Burglar Bill - Allan Ahlberg: BAD BAD BAD! Too Many B's! (881 words)

WARNING: Highly critical review laden with personal opinion.... I am utterly shocked that there is only 1 other person who has written about this book. I'm sure there will be a lot of people who will have read this one in their childhood. I was rather bored so decided to read the book again about 2am and write down on paper my thoughts. Going back to reading it again, I came across a disadvantage - no page numbers but took the time (at 2:02am) to count them for you... 30 pages. That is only the pages with the story on them though. Even to this day, I don't really get what the point of the book actually is. It was first written ...

I am a fan of Janet and Allan Ahlberg and we have several of their books such as the jolly postman and peepo.

When the rest of us honest folk are in bed Bill gets up and goes ...

Burglar Bill Burglar Bill is a paperback childrens book written by Janet and Allan Ahlberg it is aimed at children from around 4 upwards. It is short enough that you could read it all to a 4 year old but would also appeal to older children who could read it themselves. Pictures There are colour pictures on every page. Each picture has lots to look at, for example there is a little mouse under Bills bed and all the stolen property stashed around the house. The Story Well no points for guessing that this is a story about Bill who is a burglar. Now you might think that this isn’t a particularly suitable topic for a ...
