Industry Reviews
Bill is a benign sort of burglar, stealing only what he uses - a toothbrush here, a can of beans there, the fish and chips and tea he has every night for supper. Then Bill takes home a big brown box with little holes in it, and finds that he's stuck with a baby. But - this being one of those disingenuous British bits of whimsy - that very night Bill is burgled by the baby's mother, Burglar Betty (a red-haired, high-heeled "widow lady"), and before you can say "snitch" the three are a family, with Bill and Betty returning all their loot and Bill going to work in a bakery. With Janet Ahlberg's off-hand visual jokes, it's a mildly amusing diversion of its funny-paper kind. (Kirkus Reviews)
