Baby's First Bank Heist
Jim Whalley, Stephen Collins
One of The Observer’s best children’s books of 2018!
Move over, Bonnie and Clyde, because there’s a new criminal mastermind in town … Baby Frank!
Baby Frank’s parents say that he can’t have a pet – ‘Pets are for older kids’, ‘Be happy with your teddy’, ‘They cost too much to keep’ – which leaves Baby Frank with a BIG problem because he REALLY wants a pet. What’s a baby to do … ? Rob a bank, of course! But will money buy Baby Frank the fluffy pet he so desperately wants?
This is a major new partnership – Stephen Collins, cartoonist in Guardian Weekend magazine, and Jim Whalley, an exciting debut author. It’s Burglar Bill for a whole new generation and is perfect for fans of Chris Haughton, Rob Biddulph and Jon Klassen.

It was brilliant.

I liked this book because it is about a baby who robs a bank and buys lots of pets! The baby is called Frank which is my baby brother's name too. I liked the rhyming words. I would like a zoo in my house like in this book.

I thought that the book was funny because the baby was stealing money and babies aren't supposed to do that! I liked the "robbing" baby the most in the book because there was nothing he couldn't fit through. I would recommend this book to someone else because it was a great story.
