About this ebook
It seems so simple--a stamped envelope delivered by the local postman. But it hasn't always been this easy. From messengers on foot to pony express to airmail, our postal system has progressed a great deal with the passage of time. A combination of informative text and engaging illustrations serve to track this progress. Kids will have a new appreciation for the innovations that allow them to stay connected with people around the world.
