The story is not half bad and the art was alright but I feel that the story is also unacceptable for a young child to read this. The book shows that there are no real consequences to stealing. Not even an apology is needed in this! Horrible lesson possibility! Even though the burglar changes his...
Fun concept, and the children had a good time taking turns "opening" each letter in the book. The problem was, there were a couple of letters the kids didn't understand (one to the Big Bad Wolf from Little Red Riding Hood's lawyers ordering him to cease and desist in his impersonation of her grandm...
Young children love getting letters in the mail. This book contains letters in envelopes that you pull out and read. It's so fun for kids.

The jolly postman delivers delightful Christmas mail to fairy tale characters. Ages 5-10.
I found this in the loft recently while trawling through the endless boxes of books to find some for the charity shop. This was my kids' absolutely favourite book, and it's still funny. It's just a collection of (clean) playground jokes, the groan-worthy ones: 'What's small, green and goes camping? ...
