How does that letter get to Grandma and Grandpa?
This delightful book will encourage your little ones to write a letter and show them just how much time and effort goes into delivering a message of love to brighten someone's day. Through rain, sleet, snow - through hill and dale, follow seven little postmen as they work together to deliver a letter from a little boy to his Grandma. Teacher's might enjoy this resource as a Read Aloud to go with writing practice for grades 1-3, especially.

"Sakes alive! What is it about?" Sakes alive! The secret is out!
I really love children's books that sweep the reader away on long journeys. Harold and the Purple Crayon is one such book. So, too, are the Phantom Tollbooth and, of course, Tolkien's works. The Seven Little Postmen does this on a more mundane level, but the journey is enjoyable, nonetheless. Here, Margaret Wise Brown and Tibor Gergely lead us across bustling city streets, fly us through sleet and hail, and send us roaring along shining rails, "Through gloom of night / In a mail car filled with electric light". Not only do we meet seven postmen along the way, but also a cast of colorful characters, including Mrs. Potter, "Who was busy making jam". With chickens and tires delivered R.F.D. via a crank-start motor, Mr. Gergely's distinct and detailed illustrations evoke a time now long gone.


I also recommend Scuffy the Tugboat and His Adventures Down the River, likewise illustrated by Tibor Gergely.

What a great book!
If you're looking for some of the nice older books for your child, be sure to grab this one! It's just so sweet - a little boy has a secret and mails it off to his grandmother. It's a very neat and informative way to explain how the post office works to little ones. We just love this book in our house - it gets read quite a bit. A very nice old fashioned book that has endured the test of time. Highly recommend!
