envelope and discover for themselves what well-known fairy-tale characters are
sending to one another for Christmas.

The Jolly Postman’s mailbag is stuffed full of Christmassy letters and
parcels. This novelty book lets you open them all to peek inside. You can open a

parcels. But don’t forget to wrap them back up so they arrive safely on
Christmas Day!
