Now here is a fantastically fun book for all ages! When I was little I used to love the original version of this book The Jolly Postman, and I am very excited that a Christmas edition has joined it. This book centers around the postman who delivers mail to a magical neighborhood of fairytale and mother goose characters(such as the three bears, Jack of the magic beanstalk, etc). In the Christmas edition the postman is delivering holiday cards and gifts from one character of a given fairytale to another from the same tale.
What is even more fun about this book is that the letters are included! For each letter being delivered, there is a page designed, front and back, to look like a fully addressed and postmarked envelope. The envelope opens and the card, letter, or note is tucked inside for kids to take out and read for themselves. I think it is great fun to not just tell kids what is in each letter, but to actually include it for them to see for themselves.
This clever book is a great addition to any Christmas collection. Kids will look forward to it every holiday season for years to come.
