Review by Horn Book Review

Selected from the many letters Tolkien wrote to his children as Father Christmas, these feature the mishaps of the bumbling but lovable North Polar Bear. The book -- a combination of text, illustrations, and envelopes containing letters -- is not as well coordinated or as easy to read as the Ahlbergs' 'The Jolly Postman' (Little) but will please some children.
