Cops and Robbers

Excellent excellent book. My son is 2 and loves to hear the brilliant rhyme and rhythm.

Pics and story are amazing as always by these 2. Kids (age 9, 7, 5 and 3) love it.

Lovely book, arrived on time and in perfect condition

I can still remember the verse and how my teacher said it 30+ years ago. My nephew, aged 4, looked a little disappointed at first as I knew he wanted a Nintendo Switch game, but I examined I didn't have the pennies. Anyway, after looking at some pictures and engaging in some discussion about the cover (counting the cops and robbers) I was impressed by his interest, all initiated by him. Bless, he took himself off behind the sofa and looked at the pictures throughout the book - they are so engaging! Later on, at an opportune none, I offered to read it. I didn't think he'd want to but he curled up next to me and sucking his finger, he listened without a sound. So we went from a hmmmm moment to a contented, interested and engaged one. I enjoyed it, so did he.

I grew up with the Ahlberg books and I am happy to say my 4 year old loves them too. They are fun for both the reader and the listener, with fun rhymes and lovely pictures. My son likes this story so much he wanted to dress as Officer Pugh for the Book Day dress up they had at Pre School.

Lots of fun rhymes and great illustrations. Easy to read along and a fun story.

Loved this book for my children and now got it for my grand children

The first copy was damaged but Amazon changed it for a mint edition, no problem. This is a superbly entertaining book to read to small children and will be fun to read as the child learns to read for herself.

Ma fille de 5 ans, bilingue, aime bien cette série de livres avec les voleurs et les policiers. Nous avions démarré avec Burglar Bill qui reste notre préféré dans cette série. De manière générale, nous adorons les livres de cet auteur dont la série sur les Happy Families. Ces livres sont parsemés d'humour très apprécié des enfants.

Bel libro per bambini con meravigliose illustrazioni.

Great book, my 2yr old son loves it

this is a delghtful british children's book in which one of the 'robbers' actually gets away with it and oh, how you want her to! i have no children under the age of 50 except myself and i bought this book mostly for the art, which is brilliant, but i had a great time reading it too and will re read whenever the doldrums hit me. great book. grab one, they're hard to find.

I grew up reading each peach pear plum and have always loved it ... well this is a new family favourite! :) I highly recommend it!
