Postman Planet Volume 1

“It’s fun, silly and, in this National Year of Reading, precisely the kind of gateway entertainment that will show a six-year-old that books can give you a good time […] Consider the daftest story of the new year successfully delivered.” – The Times, Children’s Book of the Week

“A laugh-out-loud, highly illustrated interstellar caper” – The Guardian

THE FIRST IN A HIGH-ENERGY, HILARIOUS AND HIGHLY-ILLUSTRATED YOUNG-FICTION SERIES FROM AWARD-WINNING* AUTHOR (AND EVERYDAY POSTMAN) BEN DAVIS, PERFECT FOR FANS OF BUNNY VS MONKEY.

Postman Planet has a big secret. ​LOOK AWAY NOW IF YOU CAN’T KEEP SECRETS. ​Although he PRETENDS to be the best postman in the Universe, he’s actually only nine. Anyway, he's on a mission to make an essential delivery to the Planet of Fluffy Unicorns: an inflatable planet that is, as we speak, deflating. It’s up to Postman Planet and his ANNOYING new assistant Stamp, who is part-robot part-dog, to save the day. ​

• Laugh-out-loud funny, short chapters and full of illustrations
