In response to Tim's post...

Tim wrote about three of his favourite children's books today, so in response, here are mine... What are yours?

1. Burglar Bill - and all-time favourite with a fantastic plot, where a burglar goes around stealing things (including accidentally stealing a baby - how do you manage that?!?) and then is burgled by "burglar Betty", which results in the two of them falling in love and living happily ever after (I think? Did I make that up??). Somehow they see the error of their ways and return all of the things that they had stolen. I imagine that the baby's parents might have been a little concerned by now.

2. The Jolly Postman - a BRILLIANT book (very interactive) where you open a letter on every page. Humpty Dumpty got sent a jigsaw I think, which was particularly exciting. This was a book that I always envied but never owned... This is also by Allan Ahlberg.

3. The Magic Key reading series with unfortunately named characters: Biff, Chip and Kipper, Floppy the dog, Wilf and Wilma, Anneema and Nadim, Dad, Mum and Gran. I don't understand why the English children had such stupid names. I notice that this series is now televised, which I feel rather excited about!! I LOVED these books.
