The Jolly Postman, Or Other People's Letters - Allan Ahlberg

The Jolly Postman or Other People's Letters Janet & Allan Ahlberg The Jolly Postman books have been around for many years and have entertained children throughout many of those years, myself included. I loved reading my sisters Jolly Postman book and knew that it would be a great favourite to my own daughter. When I saw the exact same book I had being sold once again, I had to pick it up for her even though she is not quite two yet - I just couldn't pass up the opportunity (and I really wanted to read it myself once more to bring back memories!) ******************* A JOLLY OLD MAN ******************* The Jolly Postman ...  Read the complete review

The Jolly Postman is a children's book written in 1986 by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. The Ahlberg's have written many super children's books including 'Each, Peach, Pear Plum' and 'Funny Bones'. I have always enjoyed their book's, both for reading to a class and to my own children. The Jolly Postman is an interactive book. All children between the ages of four and ten will love it. The story is written in a rhyming format, which is very popular with youngsters today, as they can finish the rhyme or chant it with you.

This was a present for my daughter's second birthday and it's something I had never seen before (despite it being a children's classic), so I was very intrigued when I opened it up.

Wow I completely totally forgot about this book and it has just bought back so many memories. As a child I actually remember it from being in little school it was one of my most favourite books to choose when it was reading time and we had to pick our own book to read to ourselves, I think it was everyone's favourite to be honest everyone wanted to pick it before anyone else. I also remember the disappointment when I couldn't find it in the book rack as someone else had picked it. The best bit about the book was going through the postman delivering his letters and each letter you could pull out of a little envelope and see what the letter looked ...  Read the complete review
