''The Jolly Postman or Other People's Letters'' is an interactive children's picture book by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. The innovative project required five years to complete, and much discussion with both the publisher Heinemann and the printer before it was issued in 1986. The first subject heading assigned by WorldCat is "Toy and movable books". Little, Brown published a U.S. edition in the same year. ''The Jolly Postman'' has sold more than six million copies, Allan Ahlberg told ''The Guardian'' in 2006. It made innovative use of envelopes to include letters, cards, games and a tiny book.〔 Alternatively, The Jolly Postman is a series of three books including 1991 and 1995 sequels to ''The Jolly Postman, or Other people's letters''. In the U.K., the first book won the Children's Book Award and the Kurt Maschler Award.〔〔 The second book won the 1991 Greenaway Medal for British children's book illustration.〔 ==Summary== ''The Jolly Postman'' follows an unnamed mail carrier as he delivers letters by bicycle to characters from traditional children's stories that are well known in Britain. Following each sheet of narrative verse and illustration, there is one shaped like an envelope and containing one of the postman's deliveries. Each envelope is opened and its enclosure read at that point in the story. WorldCat gives the entire description: "A Jolly Postman delivers letters to several famous fairy-tale characters such as the Big Bad Wolf, Cinderella, and the Three Bears. Twelve of the pages have been made into six envelopes and contain eight letters and cards. Each letter may be removed from its envelope page and read separately."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Jolly Postman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
