Dozing through "Husher Town"
After reading this book, I was left with one question: what was the point? In this story, a little girl's stuffed animals elect Bear the mailman of "Husher Town," which is the girl's bed. Bear doesn't know how to be a mailman, which angers the other animals. Julia, the little girl, provides packages and letters for Bear to deliver and teaches him the finer points of being a mailcarrier. The animals celebrate the arrival of the mail by inexplicably hanging all their letters from a large tree. If you had just received mail for the first time, would you hang your letters high out of reach? I didn't think so. The writing in Mail for Husher Town is stilted and stiff, much like the awkward illustrations. If you're looking for a better book about postal delivery, try The Jolly Postman.
