I really liked this book because it had lots of short chapters. I liked the bit when they caught the thief.

I liked it when the busier burglar ran out of food and was a detective. This is a funny book so I would recommend it.

I enjoyed that the burglar decided he didn't want to be a burglar anymore and found a new job as a detective! The funniest part was when Alfie Briggs told a parrot to " button it bird brain!" .
