This charming picture book tells the story of a resourceful woman whose cottage is repeatedly visited by a growing number of robbers, eventually totaling twenty-four. Instead of resisting, she generously provides them with whatever they request, from food to her bed. Her consistent kindness and lack of fear ultimately lead the robbers to a surprising change of heart, as they realize the joy of giving rather than taking. It's a humorous and heartwarming tale perfect for discussing themes of generosity, empathy, and the power of kindness with young children aged 3-7. The repetitive, rhyming text makes it a delightful read-aloud.
When twenty-four robbers visit a woman's cottage she gives them what they ask for, but they keep coming back for more until they are ready to give something to her.
