The Jolly Postman: Or Other People's Letters., by Allan & Janet Ahlberg

A really beautifully illustrated book for kids AND parents. Lots of witty references to characters from fairy tales, as well as spoof letters to them. Appropriate for older preschoolers who have been introduced to the fairy tales in advance.

I remember reading this to children when I used to babysit as a teenager.
I loved reading it then and I love reading it to my children now.
I never tire of it!

Keeps busy minds occupied with all the additional little letters to find and read. A special book -a lovely gift.

"Brilliant book which incorporates lots of familiar fairy tales and has real letter within envelopes in the book." "Although my son is not very familiar with the traditional fairy stories, he loves taking responsibility for the letters, interpreting his own thoughts, providing him with a specific role, which he appears to enjoy."
