Overview:
Step into a timeless trio of picture-book adventures from the beloved duo Allan Ahlberg and Janet Ahlberg. The Jolly Postman invites children on a colourfully illustrated rounds through a fairy-tale world, delivering playful letters and cards to characters such as Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and Jack’s note to the Giant. The Jolly Christmas Postman adds a festive layer, with seasonal greetings delivered to favourite characters and a sense of wonder at the magic of mail. The Jolly Pocket Postman, the trio’s third adventure, sees the postman shrink to the size of a postage stamp after a bump to the head, turning every page into a tiny, giggle-filled caper. This 3-book collection brings all three enchanting stories together in a single hardcover set, ideal for family reading time, gifting to a new reader, or building a cherished library.

What Makes This Collection Special:
This collection unites three distinctly charming visits to the same inviting world, so readers can follow the Jolly Postman on growing, giggly journeys while enjoying a consistent, comforting tone and signature Ahlberg wit. Each book preserves the playful structure that invites readers to search, discover, and engage with the embedded letters and envelopes, turning reading time into an interactive game of discovery. The pocket edition adds a delightful novelty factor—the idea of a tiny postman navigating a big fairy-tale realm—while the Christmas edition delivers a seasonal sparkle that families return to year after year. Together, the trio offers a complete reading experience that feels cohesive, collectible, and endlessly giftable for picture-book lovers, busy households, and growing readers building confidence with longer, illustrated narratives.
