This is a great book for children kindergarten to second grade. It's a hands on book, that allows the students to pull out each piece of mail and read it themselves. This is a great way to involve the students in the reading.

This is a great way to teach children how to write letters. It is a fun book with letters throughout the story from fairy tales that most children know.

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0316126446, Hardcover)

Fifteen years ago, long before anyone else thought of tucking actual letters and notes inside a book, Little, Brown published The Jolly Postman by Allan and Janet Ahlberg. This wonderful book gave children a chance to read letters sent from one fairy tale or Mother Goose character to another. Among the funny notes was one from Jack, who lolled on a sun-drenched island, thanking the Giant for the gold that let him afford such a nifty vacation. All this amusing correspondence was deftly illustrated and the book attracted hordes of eager readers.
