Funnybones Award-winning team by Allan Ahlberg (author) and Janet Ahlberg (author) (UK edition)

Author/Illustrator

Allan Ahlberg

Allan has been delighting children of all ages for more than thirty years. Classic characters like Burglar Bill and The Jolly Postman have become firm favourites with a generation of children who are now reading them to their own offspring. Innovative, funny and moving, his work encompasses storybooks, picture books, easy readers, joke books and novels as well as poems.

Many of his books were collaborations with his wife, Janet, an illustrator, and they quickly became one of Britain’s leading author/illustrator teams. Read more

Influenced by comics and cartoons, their perfect partnership went on to produce masterpieces including Peepo!, Each Peach Pear Plum and The Baby’s Catalogue.

Janet sadly died in 1994, but Allan has gone on to work with other illustrators and is still producing lots of new books.

   Great read

   My 6 year old son absolutely loved me reading this book to him and what's best is he can also read it himself. My 9 year old listened and also enjoyed the book so I would definitely buy these again

   Simply an amazing book for early readers. The repetitive use of words creates a bond with the story. Not to forget the funny angle, I must say the author has very tactfully wiped away the fear of dark or ghosts and has rather created funny picks along with humorous illustrations. The characters were witty and silly at the same time. A thumps up for this writeup.. Looking forward to read more from this series.

   It’s very funny and I like the rhyme. But it’s more for 5 or 6 year olds:(
