These books will undoubtedly be very popular with the many pre-schoolers who have been following the adventures of Postman Pat and his black and white cat and the other residents of Greendale on BBC TV. I am glad that real illustrations, and excellent ones at that, have been used rather than stills from the TV series; they give the stories far more character somehow, have a naiveté that is just right for them and provide plenty for young children to look at whilst listening to the competently written tales being read.
