4.0 out of 5 stars The Jolly Christmas Postman, 6 April 2003
By A Customer
This book was actually bought as a Christmas present, but as fans of Janet and Allan Ahlberg and especially The Jolly Postman, we sneaked a peek {or two}before wrapping it up.
Not quite as funny as The Jolly Postman which is exceptionally entertaining for children and adults alike, The Jolly Christmas Postman is still a very good children's book and one they will ask for again and again. I would say it has appeal to a large age range from as young as 2-3years literally to adult, its one of those books you do actually enjoy reading, makes bedtime effortless!

5.0 out of 5 stars A true delight!, 10 Nov 2004
By K. Pringle (Northants, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This a truly wonderful book, with a great little novelty items in each envelope. The Humpty jigsaw puzzle is my 3year old's favourite. Every page has fabulous illustrations, as you would expect from Janet Ahlberg, with loads of detail - just the sort that children love to pour over. My nearly 6year old daughter also still loves it. Highly recommended!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars timeless classic, 28 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I think this book is fantastic especially since it was one of my favourites when I was small. There are lots of fun puzzles and bits to look at inside- the sort of thing adults pinch from their children just for fun!!
