I love this book - Rated
I have always loved the Ahlberg's books but this one is my absolute favourite. The wonderful and humorous
illustrations are matched perfectly by the funny rhyming story and combine to create a cosy little world to get lost in. My 2
and 4 years old children can't get enough of this book. A true classic.

This is Vagras' father - Rated
We bought this book in a bookshop years ago. I loved it. My two sons wanted me to read it every evening to them and I did a lot of the time. Some time ago we bought copies for both of our sons although they are no longer children and Vagras has a daughter of his own. Buy, read, read, enjoy, enjoy, love and keep. Be happy with your book.

Vagras' father

Cops and Robbers - Rated
The rhyming narrative and the timeless, larger than life characters placed in a story that appeals to every child makes this book one of the greatest children's picture books of all time. The image of a gang of robbers attempting to ruin Christmas being thwarted by the work of Officer Pugh is both funny and intriguing and will keep your child hooked to the end.
Once bought never forgotten (this is probably the only book i properly remember from my childhood) this is a book you'll be forced to read time and time again to your children but won't mind doing so!!!!

One of the greatest kids books ever! - Rated
As a boy I could not get enough of this book. I still can't. The pictures are great, the characters are instantly understood and the simple rhyme commits to memory in seconds. What little boy would not want to be Officer Pugh saving the kids toys on Christmas eve? Although I definitely have a soft spot for Peg-Leg Horace, and the picture of him handcuffed round a tree.

As an adult I still talk to my Dad about this book and how much I enjoyed it when we read it together when I was little. And now as a dad-to-be, imagine then how happy I was when I received a new copy from my parents to read to my child when he or she is old enough (although I think it may have been sent for me rather than the baby)! It is solid gold and a must for any parent to get their kids reading and more importantly to enjoy it.
