Look insideCops and Robbers
On Christmas Eve, villainy is afoot in London Town! London’s robbers have cooked up a plot to steal all the toys they can lay their hands upon! As brave Officer Pugh and his men leap into action to save the children’s toys, will the heroic cops be able to stop Grandma Swagg and her naughty gang? A marvellous swag-bag of slapstick giggles and comical characters, this classic picture book is criminally funny!

This was one of the very first Allan Ahlberg book I got when I was 4 or 5 years old. He’s one of my favourite writers still.
