What is The jolly Christmas postman about?

The jolly postman is back, delivering Christmas cards and letters around a snowy fairytale village. Along the way, he visits familiar characters, including the Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood and the Giant, finding surprises in every envelope. Readers can open the letters, cards and special messages themselves, while playful rhymes and cheerful illustrations bring the postman’s busy rounds to life. With festive fun, storybook characters and a warm Christmas feeling, every delivery offers something new to discover.
