The Jolly Christmas Postman

Each Peach Pear Plum

Allan Ahlberg, Janet Ahlberg

In this book, children can spy characters hiding in the pictures. A poem on each page gives the clue as to what is hiding in the picture opposite. Many well-known nursery characters are included so that young children can follow the rhymes.

Allan Ahlberg

Orphaned by the death of their parents and bereft by the sudden death of their older brother Tom, nine-year-old Frances and three-year-old Harry are comforted by Tom's ghost, who helps them in difficult situations at home with their aunt and uncle and at school.

 

The Boyhood of Burglar Bill

Allan Ahlberg

Coronation Year, 1953, and in Oldbury, a Coronation football competition is organized. It's Spencer's idea to get a team up - some of the players are good, and one of them is even a girl, but all of them are football crazy.
