Description

A book with real letters inside! The Jolly Postman has delivered the mail... What could possibly be in the letter from Goldilocks to the Three Bears? There is a message for the Wicked Witch... but who would write to her? Open this book, take out the letters, each from its own envelope, and you-ll discover what well-known fairy-tale characters have written to each other. Fifteen years ago, long before anyone else thought of tucking actual letters and notes inside a book, Little Brown published The Jolly Postman by Allan and Janet Ahlberg. This wonderful book gave children a chance to read letters sent from one fairy tale or Mother Goose character to another. Among the funny notes was one from Jack, who had climbed a beanstalk and stolen a hen from a giant. A perennial favorite, this innovative and interactive book continues to delight children and parents alike.
