A series that’s made families smile for over thirty years. Even funnier with this fresh new look. Beautiful covers and a slightly larger size for small hands that are still used to picture books. A tiny baby is found abandoned in a handbag at the railway station. Kindly Mr and Mrs Track decide to take him in. One day (after he’s grown quite a lot bigger), a train is stolen. No problem: Master Track is all ready to show what a hero he is!

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.

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.
