Four easy readers featuring the TV star, Postman Pat, and his cat, Jess, illustrated here not by Celia Berridge but by Joan Hickson. The stories--about Jess's rooftop misadventure, the church outing to the safari park, a soggy day's postal deliveries and the big cricket match against Pencaster - are well constructed and told with plenty of dialogue, indeed they read aloud quite well. But I wonder whether children old enough to be able to read these books for themselves will still be Postman Pat fans.
