Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on June 05, 1938)

Happy Birthday, Allan Ahlberg! May your day be filled with more surprises than Burglar Bill's midnight adventures and sweeter moments than the Jolly Postman's deliveries. Your timeless tales have sparked laughter and imagination in generations of children (and adults who secretly still read them!).

From "Each Peach Pear Plum" to "Funnybones," you've given us countless bedtime giggles and cherished memories. Together with Janet, you created stories that became treasured companions for families everywhere. Today we celebrate not just another year older—but another chapter richer in a life that's truly picture-book perfect.

Here's wishing you cake-filled pages ahead—just watch out for sneaky skeletons!
