The Jolly Christmas Postman has been delighting children for generations, making it the perfect book to share on Christmas Eve! I absolutely love this book, another favourite for my sister and I when we were younger. The author creates a unique story through joining classic fairytales and their characters such as little red riding hood and the three little pigs into one storyline. The author uses a similar style of writing along with rhyme which adds to the effect of the text.

Plan a party and work out problems such as; “how many buns will we need if 4 people are coming and they want 2 buns each?” This is such an enchanting book. My girls have enjoyed reading and re-reading the letters from the postman, the jigsaw puzzle from Humpty Dumpty, a postcard from the big bad wolf and my very favorite, the peek through from the door of a house into the outside world of the Postman, just incredible.
