By far the best book I've ever bought, I couldn't wait to read it, so as my little boy went for a nap I quickly had a read. It takes quite a while to read the book with a child, so much is left for you to discuss together, to comment on, to remember and love.

Janet sadly died in 1994, but Allan has gone on to work with other illustrators and is still producing lots of new books. Bought this for my four year old as I thought he was old enough to appreciate it now, and he loves it!Got this for christmas at 14 months old he was interested in the pictures and taking stuff out of the envolopes.

Classic characters like Burglar Bill and The Jolly Postman have become firm favourites with a generation of children who are now reading them to their own offspring. The Jolly Christmas Postman is the seasonal sequel of, the Kate Greenaway Medal winning, The Jolly Postman which, after 35 years, remains one of the most innovative and interactive children’s books available. We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring theres something for every literary palate.

This book references so many nursery rhymes, fairy tales and the illustrations and text are both perfect. Our sons loved Alan and Janet Ahlberg books when they were young and we still have an old, much loved Burglar Bill and Cops and Robbers (Ho, ho).
