I thought it was an extremely good book because it had loads of really good letters to take out and read. The character I liked the best honestly has to be the postman because he was really funny. My favourite part was when I pulled out the witch’s letter because it was a very funny letter. I would recommend it to someone else because it is a very good book and I think it would help children really like reading books!
