Postman Pat and the Toy Soldiers

One hardly needs to recommend a new Postman Pat story to his many friends and I must admit to an affection for all such gentle and cheerful characters. Pat comes from an illustrious line which runs from Andy Pandy and Trumpton through Ivor the Engine and The Wombles. It is a kindly world which treats small children with affection and goodwill and we can't, in my opinion, get too much of it these days. This story is about how Pat and Jess outwit some robbers and get a reward for their cleverness. The pictures are full of colour and interest and the words read aloud splendidly. The price makes it a bargain, both for the production quality and the pleasure it will give.
