    <body><![CDATA[Great fun with postcards telling half the story (anything with inserts like The Jolly Postman is a blast at home and just dreadful at the library).

    <body><![CDATA[I love this book.  It has actual post cards on the pages so students can read about what is happen as they look at the background images to put together what is happening.

    <body><![CDATA[Loved this book!  A great story of the importance of family and home.  This gives me the idea of providing postcards to the students and letting them write their own.  They could even write postcards for other international books.]]></body>
