Felix is a little Rabbit who gets lost from his owner, and then travels around the world, mailing letters and postcards back home, untill he finally returns home himself on Christmas Eve.

Our world of today has become quite small because of all the travelling we do, but this can be difficult for a child to understand. Felix is a good helper here. Through his travel letters he tells in a fun and friendly way about the adventures he meets. And his stories are a good start to tell children about our adventurous world. Use an atlas or a map book when you read for your child, and you can have a good conversation about our huge world.

We travel alot, so my 6 years old Marta has been to several of the places mentioned in the book. And I have been to some more and can tell about my travelling. The book Letters from Felix is more than a book actually. It also contains all the letters sent home by Felix, so we can open them and read them - over and over again. And it also contains small souvenirs from the places Felix visited.

Lately I have heard about a little doll named Flat Stanley. He, like Felix, travels around the world, actually he spent Christmas with us here in Norway, and with our relatives on Iceland this winter. I don't have the Flat Stanley book, but I'm thinking of sending a small Felix around the world, a Felix who can write back to my little daughter about the places he visits.

Letters from Felix is a wonderful book teaching your kids about travelling and about different cultures. We love the book here in our house, and also has a huge Felix who spends every night in my daughters bed.

I am a second grade teacher who absolutely loves this book. The children enjoy reading this book as much as I do! Their eyes widen as each letter and little surprise is taken out of each envelope! The children were quite inspired by this series that they have created their own Felix-type of books. What a great concept! Read all of the Felix and Jolly Postman books...they are well worth it!

My kids and I love this book! The story revolves around a little girl who lost her stuffed rabbit, and he explores the world on his way back to her. The letters in the envelopes are fun for the kids to open, and the pictures are fantastic! I read this to my daughter when she was 3 years old, and now her 3rd grade teacher borrowed it to read to the class. It's a good book for a wide variety of ages, even Mommy enjoyed it! THIS one will become a family keepsake......

For my son's first birthday, a good friend and my sister gave him something about Felix the rabbit (a cup and a backpack, they both live in Germany, seems Felix the rabbit is more famous there than here in USA), because my son's name is Felix. However, I waited until he's almost two to buy the first Felix book. We really enjoy the book, since we travel a lot (along last year, we flew more than 30,000 miles), and Felix knows people talk differently and they look different. With the book, Felix can already tell the cities' and countries' names by picking out the right stickers or by pointing at the map. I can tell him some of my trips to the European cities I went before he was born. We are planning a trip to Asia in May, and I'll buy another Felix book before the trip, so that we can read it on the airplane.

This book is about a girl name Sophie who lost her rabbit. Then the rabbit (Filix) travels back home to her! This book is neat and full with cool envelopes to open and have something about history! Great book!

I received this book as a shower gift for my son (now 3 1/2 years old). We've been reading it for over 3 years and it's still as exciting as the first time. As a new teacher, I read it to my 1st grade class. They were absolutely thrilled to turn each page -- anxious to read the next letter from Felix. A truly exciting book!

Felix is the class mascot for my daughter's second grade class. Every week the class "travels" with Felix to visit another country and learn about a new culture.

The artwork is warm and coloful. The unique feature of the Felix books, is the series of letters, which Felix "writes and sends" back to his friend, Sophie, as he travels around the world and tells of his adventures. It is a high quality picture book, that should not be given to children much younger than second grade -- it is designed to be a book that is treasured by the child.

My son (now 4 1/2) and I have been enjoying this book for the past year. A friend of mine sent it as a gift. My son is fascinated with geography and has a wonderfully active imagination. He is enthralled with the adventures of Felix and still cannot wait to take the next letter out of the envelope. My parents do a great deal of travelling and I may "lend" them one of my son's stuffed animals so that he can learn of it's adventures too. I just ordered two more books from this series. This book is a delight and an excellent learning tool!

This book was a perfect solution for my 4 year old who I felt was ready for more advanced reading. His interest was kept even though there was quite a bit of writing on each page. His anticipation in reading Felix's letters was a joy to watch. The picture of Felix next to the Eiffel Tower actually made me laught out loud the first time I saw it. I am definitely going to buy the next in the series. Loved it.

We have recently discovered the Felix books and have found them to be remarkably engaging. As a huge collector and reader of children's books I was quite surprised that I had never previously heard of any of them and have been thrilled that I happened upon them. They are truly wonderful books that my children have been drawn into.
