Customer Reviews

Purchased this book and every single letter was missing. This is the 3rd book I’ve purchased that is

I don’t know if we liked the book or not because we couldn’t even read the entire book. All the letters were missing.

Ugh.

I bought this book labelled in "very good" condition. The spine is coming apart. None of the letters are in the envelopes. Disappointing

Cute book, decent condition but every single letter is missing. I don’t think they should be selling

N/A

Poor condition!

Not 1 letter! Just a childs barrette in an envelope,and black magic marker colored around the side of the book,this was trash and should have never been available for sale

A Childhood Favorite

Kiddo or you like peek-a-boo-style books of things hidden that you can find while the book is read? Love getting mail? This book contains both loves with heartwarming charm within its covers. Enjoy!

Every child and young at heart should own this book.

While doing some Christmas shopping for holiday books for my grand daughters, I came across this book. I bought it not really knowing what it was. I am so glad that it was one of the books I chose. Great illustrations, wonderful little greeting cards and other novel things to open that the postman delivers to Red Riding Hood, Gingerbread Boy and others, tucked in pocket pages. The postman finally ends up with a visit to Santa. This book will be a repeat purchase by me as gifts for many children and "big kids" I know for years to come. It's different, clever and fun - A book that will become a tradition to read.

creative book

this wonderful book is ideal for little children. it is a fun interactive book that encourages childrens' imagination. I first read this book when i was in the third grade. Now i am a freshmen in college and i saw this book and had to get it

Reading Center students ask for the information to buy it!

Being a Reading Specialist working with at risk readers from first grade through fourth grade, any book that makes them want to read is a winner with me. My fourth graders wanted the information on how to find the book! The book also gave us a reason to review nursery rhymes without feeling that it is a "baby" thing for fourth graders to do.

travel book

My children received this book as a Christmas gift just before we left for a 700 mile trip to visit grandparents. It is an ideal book to pack for such a trip. The story itself and the letters tucked inside the book kept them busy for hours, and they wanted to read it over and over. That was okay with me, I really enjoyed reading it to them. It is a fantastic book! In fact, I logged on to see if there are other "Jolly Postman" books. Thank goodness there are.

Creative and Funny

Even though I am already eleven years old I am still obsessed with this book. It is funny and the pictures are marvelous. I plan on buying this book for Christmas. This book is for all ages. It is about a postman who goes around delivering mail. On each page there is a little pocket that contains a message/mail. I loved reading this book and I bet you will too.
