Th I have heard so many lovely reviews about this story book, and I can understand why! Below are some of the main reasons as to why I rate this book so highly. There is reference throughout to traditional tales which could be explored at the teacher's discretion. The format has some lovely introductory rhyming couplets which could be discussed as a whole class. It is jam packed with lots of sweet illustrations and little extras which I am sure would children love to explore independently. I have heard so many lovely reviews about this story book, and I can understand why! Below are some of the main reasons as to why I rate this book so highly. This book can also be used for letter writing and poetry. This book can be read to Early Years and Key Stage 1. Most of sentences in the book rhyme, which is a bonus. This book is a great read for children, and the extras engage them totally. I love books which include extras and letters to read. There are “pockets” designed like envelopes, which contain letters, a telegram, a “coded” message, a postcard and a miniature book. I love the little extras throughout the book. The authors have cleverly interwoven the stories of Jack & The Beanstalk, Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz. I cannot believe I have not read this before! It’s a brilliant idea to follow the Jolly Postman on his rounds. This book is a great rea I love this book!
