The Jolly Christmas Postman delivers the Christmas mail to all of the inhabitants of fairytale land. From the four bears (they had a new addition to the family since we last saw them) to the Wolf, everyone gets something from this happy postal worker. The best thing is that not only do you get to see WHO he delivers the mail to, but also WHAT he's delivering. Each page has an envelope containing the SAME MAIL that the envelopes are addressed to!

This book is absolutely charming! The illustrations are colorful and as entertaining as the envelopes' contents. The story is heartening and allows the reader's imagination run wild. I definitely recommend this book for Christmas fun.
