The Jolly Christmas Postman is written in a poetic rhyme style. The postman is delivering Christmas packages to nursery rhyme characters like the Four Bears (they had a baby), Humpty Dumpty, and even Mister Wolf. Each time a package is delivered, there is an envelope with a Christmas card inside. The cards contain interactive gifts such as puzzles and board games.
The pictures are wonderful and detailed. There are nursery rhyme characters and houses in the background. The poems are well written and almost as enjoyable as the pictures themselves. This book can be read through quickly and one can spend an hour with the book as well, because of the games and detailed pictures. This is one of my favorite Christmas picture books.
