One starry night, Oska sneaks into his garden shed, changes his clothes and emerges as a robber. Together with his cat-burglar friend, he scales walls, climbs up drainpipes and slides head-first through windows.

But Oska is neither brave nor successful. And as the fog comes in, he finds himself in some very strange places...

Pop-ups, pull-tabs and flaps plus deliciously wicked pictures by Korky Paul - illustrator of DINNER WITH FOX and MRS WOLF - make this a funny, action-packed adventure from beginning to inevitable end.


This is the story of Oska's exploits whilst planning and performing his first domestic robbery in search of hidden jewels. The humour of the story is supported brilliantly by Korky Paul's pictures and these are brought to life through surprising pop-ups, pull-levers and tabs. The combination of all these effects leads to laughter all the way, with little sympathy for Oska who should have planned his mission with more attention to detail.
