Burglar Bill
by Janet and Allan Ahlberg
Burglar Bill takes anything he likes the look of, until one night he brings home a box with a baby in it and has to reconsider his career.
A story about a grown-up villain, funny and warm in tone. We would put it with children of 4–7, and at a reading age of about 6 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
