The Jolly Postman or Other People’s Letters
(6 reviews with an average rating of 5 out of 5)
Publisher: Penguin
In this much-loved rhyming tale, join the jolliest of postmen on his daily rounds as he delivers letters to the residents of a fairytale town. While the postman is treated to numerous cups of tea, children will be re-introduced to a host of favourite characters, from the great and good such as Cinderella and the Three Bears, to the not so nice Mr Wolf and the Wicked Witch.
As readers find out what the cast are all getting up to, they will delight in discovering the six pull-out pieces of post. Brilliantly designed with lots of little details to spot, this old favourite will be enjoyed time and time again.

It is a good book, because it has letters in, and it uses fairy tale people - age 5

Loved this book as a child so I couldn't wait to read it to my son. He found it fun as I read in rhyme and used different voices.

I love this book, this book is needed now in the time of social media. Our children need to know what it's like to get a letter in the mail, as well as reaching out to people in a different way. One of my all time favs!!!!

One of my favourite books as a child and one that I thoroughly enjoy reading with my daughter. She loves the letters and the story. It's both wonderful for her but also enjoyable for an adult!
