The Jolly Christmas Postman, by Janet and Allan Ahlberg, is a delightful Christmas story. The Jolly Postman visits familiar nursery rhyme characters (Baby Bear, Little Red Riding Hood, Humpty Dumpty, The Gingerbread Boy, and Mister Wolf) to deliver Christmas greetings. The reader checks an envelope page creatively addressed to each recipient to read the greeting. These messages become stories within the main story to further develop the plot. The rhyming verses of the story add to the overall fun. The Jolly Postman receives a surprise at the end, which will delight young readers! We love the Jolly Postman series and are so glad to have this one in our collection. Happy Reading!
