 What a jolly good read! July 14, 2007

I thought that the Jolly Postman couldn't be beaten, but this wins hands down. Absolutely brilliant read, great rhymes, 'interactive' in the sense that the children get to open the letters themselves. Recommended without a doubt. My children love it!
 Nice, but just milking the original really. February 26, 2007

This book has lots of lovely little envelopes to explore, with lots of lovely little letters, advertising fliers, cards etc in. It is undeniably beautiful, if a little delicate for little hands.
The only problem them I have with it is an incredible feeling of "been there done that".
The Jolly postman was fresh and exciting, this is just using the same idea over again.]
Relying so heavily on Christams as the theme also means that this book is limited to when it gets read, most people are really sick of Christmas by mid January (by most people I mean adults, the person usually required to read the story).
A nice book but don't bother if you already own the jolly postman, you just don't need two books so alike.
A true delight! November 10, 2004

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!!!

I bought this book last year for my three year old niece who loves me reading to her. She asks for this book over and over and knows it by heart she always puts all the inserts back very carefully so as not to lose them and often we find her simply amusing herself by looking at the beautiful illustrations. The best christmas book she has had so far.

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!
