This is a quick look into the work of mail carriers and others who work at the post office. My three-year-old loved it.

I learned that mail carriers have routes and they carry a mail pouch. They take mail to people and sell us stamps for letters. Mail carriers help communities. This story reminded me of my grandmother. She helps people get their mail.
