Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The Jolly Postman must surely be one of the most innovative and interactive books for young children. Accompany the Jolly Postman on his rounds as he delivers post to classic children's characters, all of which happily live within his delivery round. Meet the Three Bears, Cinderella (now happily married to her Prince Charming), Goldilocks and many more. The real magic in this book lies in the inclusion of actual and highly personalised post for each character--each tucked into a neat envelope between the pages of the book. Enjoy Goldilocks' "Sorry" letter to the Three Bears, a Postcard to the Giant from Jack and, most amusing of all, the writ issued to the Big Bad Wolf (still occupying Grandma's cottage) by lawyers acting on behalf of both Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs. The story is told in charming verse to compliment this very active and unusual storybook. The Jolly Postman is a treasure for children aged 2 to 6 years old. --Victoria MacKenzie Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Simply wonderful!!!!I read this book for two children I was babysitting on Saturday night. I think I enjoyed it more than them! What a fab idea, perfectly written and illustrated. I'm going to be buying this for all the children I know this Christmas. Rating: - AWESOME!Read this book as a child - it was a true favourite of all the family! Still love it now (at university!) Rating: - Lovely book!Lovely book. Great pictures. Our children love it. It is one of my favourites. Rating:  - Grown into it.I bought this a few months back but my boy never really got into it until now : he is 3 1/2. The rhyming story is OK, as is the gift set but the hook is obviously the letters. Of these Goldilock's apology (however badly spelt), Cinderella's book deal and the birthday card are genius. The others are OK but it's these 3 which my boy firmly believes are real. It does lead to the difficult question why we have Goldilocks birthday money but, I am sure, there are trickier questions to come. Rating:  - Great idea, but...When we first saw this book we thought it was a great idea - a great way to introduce letters, post cards and the likes to our children. However, reading some of the letters included in the book we came across sentences like "I am very sory indeed that I cam into your house and ate Baby Bears porij." Surely in a book intended to teach children to read, the spelling and grammar should be a good example. We stopped when we came across Jack's post card to the giant... "Dear Giant Bigg, having a nice time - me, my mum and your hen what lays the golden eggs. (It's better than traveller's cheques.) Saw a bloke as we was flying down - he was bigger than you! I've took note of his address. Take care of yourself - and your talking harp ... Read More: |
