This month, we’re thrilled to be hosting our next Virtual Author Event for Coram Beanstalk schools with award‑winning author Ben Davis!

We’ve chosen his latest book, Postman Planet, the first in a high‑energy, hilarious, and highly illustrated young‑fiction series, as our Book of the Month for June.

We've also chosen a range of other Beanstalk Brilliant books featuring post or letters for you to explore. Some of these books even have real letters inside for children to open and read.

About the book 

Postman Planet by Ben Davis

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
• Great for readers aged 6+ and reluctant readers
• With themes of friendship, sharing and teamwork

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.

“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
