Synopsis

It's Christmas Eve and the Jolly Postman is delivering greetings to various fairy-tale characters - there's a card for Baby Bear, a game appropriately called 'Beware' for Red Riding Hood from Mr. Wolf, a get-well jigsaw for hospitalized Humpty Dumpty and three more surprise envelopes containing letters, cards, etc.

Publisher and industry reviews

UK Kirkus review

These now classic picture books have been reissued in a slightly larger format. The original Jolly Postman and Other People's Letters is still stunningly inventive with its witty text and real envelopes containing exquisitely drawn letters. The second tale is the perfect Christmas gift as the postman delivers a card for baby bear, a game for Red Riding Hood, a jigsaw for Humpty Dumpty, a book for the Gingerbread Boy, a letter for Mister Wolf, and lastly a peepshow for the Postman. The Jolly Pocket Postman features a magnifying glass to find various even tinier drawings and writings. Each title is a sure-fire winner! (5-9 yrs) (Kirkus UK)
