Product Information

The piece tells the story of a burglar interrupted in his work by a lisping little girl who asks him to force open the stuck door of her doll's house. Plus, where we can, we’ve included a pic of a child in the costume, as shared by one of the brilliant parents in our Facebook community, so you can get an idea of the finished 'look' you're after. This fantastic Mens Burglar Bank Robber Fancy Dress Outfit is ideal for any gent looking to break the rules! Your waist is between the bottom of your ribs and the top of your hips, so your measuring tape should be placed in the middle - usually just above the belly button. Burglar Bill is a 1977 children's picture book illustrated by Janet Ahlberg and written by Allan Ahlberg about a burglar who accidentally steals a baby.

If your child feels comfortable going to nursery or school in their PJs, this is a super easy one to pull off, because almost everyone has PJs or a Nightie. The baby and Burglar Bill end up spending a day together, but when Bill is putting the baby to bed, he hears an intruder downstairs.Last year, we shared some tips for ‘ 5 Last Minute World Book Day Costumes‘, and we’re back this year with another round of easy-peasy suggestions. Burglar Bill, played by Bradley Walsh, put in an appearance at the Children's Party at the Palace, a celebration of British children's literature held in Buckingham Palace Garden in 2006 in honour of the Queen's 80th birthday. This five piece classic Robber costume includes a striped top, a pair of black trousers, an eyemask, a hat and a swag bag, everything you need to don that classic criminal look !

These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. I originally bought another pair because the photos were stolen and I was scammed into a cheap printed replica with no detail whatsoever. Props: Golden Ticket – All you need is gold paper (or yellow, if you can’t find gold) and a black marker. The wires took a little bit to straighten out but it didn’t take too long before I was parading around the house flapping my wings around. Other books featuring characters in PJs or a nightie include the boy from Penguin by Polly Dunbar (spotted PJs + toy penguin); I Am Not Going to Get Up Today!

Some readers loved the book's charm and unique story, while others did not see it as being morally acceptable for a young child to read, as the subject of burglary is taken fairly light-heartedly without serious consequences. Props: Black and white stripey top; eye mask made from black paper and wool or string; a ‘swag bag’ – we just turned an old tote bag inside out and pinned a label that says ‘SWAG’ to the outside. A university project that instructed the recreation of a children's book as a short animated film used Burglar Bill as its subject.
