The Jolly Postman
by Janet and Allan Ahlberg
A postman cycles round delivering real letters you can take out of the envelopes: an apology to the three bears, a solicitor's letter to the wolf.
A story about children and a grown-up hero, funny and warm in tone. We would put it with children of 4–7, and at a reading age of about 6 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
