Funnybones - Allan Ahlberg

top gives details for The Pet Shop version of Funnybones as I suggested the original book and that s what it s down as at the top. *Background* Allan Ahlberg has written many books over the years but this one dates back to 1980 when it was first published. Even today it is a very popular book but was made really famous by the cartoon series, which brought these lovable characters to life. Allan’s wife, Janet, illustrated this book along with many others over the years but sadly died in 1994 but her legacy lives on through the wonderful pictures she has created. *The Story* “This is how the story begins. On a dark dark hill there was a dark dark town. In the dark ...

Jolly Postman or Other Peoples Letters - Allen Ahlberg

Even the title of this book makes my son laugh, as the concept of two words such as 'jolly' and 'postman' being linked together is rather odd if your father was once the grumpiest postman that ever existed. The Psychopathic Postman would probably have been a better title for a book about my little boy's first hand experience of postmen. Once we've stopped laughing at the idea that working six days a week, outside, in all weather, starting at 5am, having to cycle while carrying bags of mail etc. may make someone jolly, we can start my number one favourite book to read my sons. This book is one of those fabulous classic's that is so exceptionally ...

Jolly Postman or Other Peoples Letters - Allen Ahlberg

I have always loved the magic of Janet and Alan Ahlberg and this book is simply outstanding. This is the original and by far the best of the Jolly Postman series of books, first published in 1986. This book must have sold millions of copies worldwide - its originality and charm has stood the test of time. I have read it to groups of children over the years (as a primary school teacher) and they have all enthused over it immensely. There is so much to gain from the book (and it can be used in Literacy Hour to good effect, folks!!!) The blurb on the back gives us a clue as to the special nature of this book, in that hidden throughout the book are real letters to popular ...
