This is just the most adorable Christmassy stocking-stuffer book. It not only contains the stunningly detailed illustrations Janet is famous for, but a bunch of treasures secreted away in full-page pockets - making it a real Christmas treat.
There's the Humpty Dumpty jigsaw puzzle, the Christmas card to Baby Bear from Goldilocks, the fold-out board game to Little Miss Riding Hood from a certain Mr Wolf, the Toytown Christmas Annual booklet - just to name a few.
Kids will love exploring the pockets for treasure and also following the Jolly Postman as he makes his festive mail deliveries to a gaggle of storybook characters. Unexpectedly funny (like when Mr Wolf takes pains to note to Riding Hood that he is now a changed wolf), this will fast become a storybook favourite in any Christmas-loving house.
What on earth would we do without the Jolly Postman to deliver our Christmas mail?
Just gorgeous.
