Twenty-four robbers display their cooking talents in this retelling of the traditional skipping rhyme. In Audrey Wood''s joyful celebration of this traditional skipping rhyme, twenty-four robbers return to the same house again and again. What do they need and what is it for? Kindness and generosity show the robbers that stealing is not the only way, and teaches them the value of sharing. Count twenty-four robbers on each spread, and join in the shouting!

Industry Reviews

'This funny book is written and illustrated by Audrey Wood with lilting text and irreverent illustrations. Parents won't mind reading this book again and again at bedtime because of the hilarious twist in the tale and the catchy rhythm.' The Green Parent

'The night before, and the next day, and the morn before and the next hour the clever maid continually pleases the twenty-four robbers and shows the advantages of sharing in a beautifully simple book by Audrey Wood with 24 robber to be counted on each double page.' School Librarian Journal

'NOT last night, but the night before...twenty-four robbers came a knocking at my door..." Can you remember any more of this playground rhyme? We couldn't but Audrey Wood supplies the rest of the verse, with vivid illustrations, lots of hot peppers and an ending that shows that sharing is better then stealing; as the robbers turn out to be not quite the baddies they at first appear.' Evening Echo/Irish Examiner
