Jasper Giraffe

I am sharing another one of my favorite books.........Jasper Giraffe.  It's a book about a young Giraffe, named Jasper..Jasper is sad because he never gets any mail.
Polly Parrot is the Postmistress and all the animals in the jungle come to collect their mail at the post office
Jasper was so sad because he never received any mail, that one day he was not paying attention and tripped and fell
All day long the animals came to get their mail or to post letters they had written...and Polly Parrot told all of them about Jasper and his fall
The next morning the post office was full of mail...for Jasper Giraffe
And Jasper could not believe that all the mail that Polly Parrot delivered was for him!
Polly Parrot had told all the animals that Jasper had broken his leg, but it was only a scratch!
Jasper was so happy, he had many friends

I just love these books about mail...sending and receiving... I think I will work on sending out a few letters out this weekend!

I am linking up to Li'Vintage Story Books

  4. I'm with Jasper...I love getting letters in the mail. (much better than bills!) :)
    Oh, and my washtub caddy...I was grinning from ear to ear when I left that sale! (the guy was asking $3.00 for it, but I talked him into taking the $2.00 he had just given me back in change....I'm so bad!) lol

  5. I kinda feel sorry for kids these days, because the illustrations in the new books just can't compare to the ones in vintage books! These are just adorable!

  11. I also feel sorry for kids these days with the electronic toys, texting and email...they will never have anything so darling to hold in their hands and recall their childhoods 40 years from now like we do!

  14. Does anyone know where I may be able to buy a copy of this? For a family member who loved it as a child. I'm in Australia and can pay for shipping, is anyone knows of someone who might have a copy to sell!
    Thanks in advance :)
