The Jolly Christmas Postman

by Allan Ahlberg (Author) Janet Ahlberg (Illustrator)

The Jolly Christmas Postman
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

Follows the postman from door to door as he delivers Christmas cards and other surprises to familiar figures such as Red Riding Hood and Humpty Dumpty, and presents pockets holding the actual cards and other deliveries--including a puzzle--that shape the story.

This gorgeously illustrated, full-color classic celebrates a time before email with an interactive picture book full of real letters to read aloud. The Jolly Postman brings a batch of wonderful letters for Christmas, including notes from the Big Bad Wolf and all the King's men. Open this book, take out the letters, and discover what favorite characters would write to each other--and reimagine best-loved tales together.

Starred Review

 The illustrations are as charming as the text—even the postmarks are fun. Pure delight.
