Description
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.
This eBook comes with a glorious audio accompaniment, read by CBeebies star Justin Fletcher.

Reviews
-
An absolute delight from start to finish.
The Evening Standard
-
A delightfully funny tale with expressive, detailed illustrations.
The Irish Independent
-
[Baby's First Bank Heist] zips along in rhyming verse, telling the tale of a kid so desperate for a pet that he turns to a life of crime. Collins's drawings are so rich in detail that repeated reading pays off.
The Observer, Best Children's Books of 2018
-
A bouncy, laugh-out-loud rhyme.
The Observer
-
As smart and funny as its title suggests ... with a fab ending that will delight a child and retro, sassy artwork, this is a classy picture book.
The Independent
-
Children will love Frank's logic and naughtiness and it's hard to say which illustrations are more fun: the bank heists or the hidden menagerie ... Steve Collins's witty, expressive illustrations will delight young and old. Great fun!
