Their first three published books, in quick succession, were "The Old Joke Book", "The Vanishment of Thomas Tull" and the popular "Burglar Bill". In 1978, Janet won the Kate Greenaway Medal for illustrating "Each Peach Pear Plum".

One of their most popular books, "The Jolly Postman", has sold over 6 million copies. Along with the sequels, "The Jolly Pocket Postman" and "The Jolly Christmas Postman", it made innovative use of envelopes to include letters, cards, games and a tiny book.It took 5 years to make, but after much discussion with the printers and publishers, "The Jolly Postman" was published in 1986. It won many awards, including the Kate Greenaway Medal again, and the Kurt Maschler Award.

Working together, they produced many popular books for a range of ages. Some, such as "Peepo!" and "The Baby's Catalogue" are aimed at babies and toddlers. For older children, they wrote books such as "Burglar Bill", "Cops and Robbers", "Funny Bones" and the "Happy Families" series. Allan also wrote two books of verses, "Heard it in the Playground" and "Please, Mrs Butler", which Janet illustrated, and more text-heavy books such as "Woof!".
