Book Review: The Jolly Postman by Janet & Allen Ahlberg

I grabbed this book at the library for the girls - without even opening it up. I was in a hurry and wanted to just grab and go. (Yes, I feel just guilty enough sneaking to the library without them that I check stuff out for them.)

The story is simple enough, the postman is delivering mail to characters in fairytale land. Cute, for sure, but is it really that great of a book? Each letter that is being delivered comes out of it's own envelope and is a work of art unto itself. In our house, the little ones LOVE getting their own mail to open, so a book full of letters that get opened ROCKS. It really is that great of a book.

What a treasure! Such darling little bits of work have been worked into this book, it is truly amazing.

Whether you have young children or not, you should pop into the children's section of your library and read it. :-)
