Tiny cops and robbers

A house full of tiny robbers is a slightly alarming thought. Only the baby and the baby’s teddy can see them it seems, and they are on the rampage, taking dad’s socks, mum’s glasses, grandpa’s wig even! Fortunately, there are tiny cops too, in shiny boots and tidy uniforms to take the tiny robbers prisoner and lock them up in jail. Joel Stewart gives the little people full run of the house and they dash about wherever they please. No attempt is made to explain where these tiny people come from, or go to, and, despite the wonderful every day details in the pictures, and the sheer energy of the characters, there’s something of a dreamlike quality to the story.
