"Mum got us a copy of 'The Adventures of Penny the Postie: Penny and the Pirates' and read it to us for our bedtime story last night. We loved it: the pictures are all really cool, and we liked the characters in it very much. We thought that the special souvenir stamps that came with the book are too nice to use, so we're going to take very good care of them."
Mum says:
"At £4.95 this book is very good value, especially considering there's £2.95 face value of postage stamps inside the back of the book as well (which may well be worth more in the future as collector's items as they feature Penny.) The boys loved this story, and I can see myself reading it to them many more times. Joe, especially, is always going on about treasure maps so it's the perfect story for him."
Dad says:
"Because of the title, I imagined this might be a girl's story or a bit feminist/PC. Not at all, it was a great story appealing to my boys, and I thought the stamps in it were a great bonus that may get the boys interested in stamps one day."

Not that we're planning to use the lovely stamps, but for the record does anybody happen to know if you can use Guernsey stamps in other parts of the UK as legal tender?
@gotoguernsey kindly told us on Twitter that sadly we cannot use Guernsey postage stamps on mainland UK. So now we know for sure!
So to clarify the £2.95 worth of postage stamps are only of value as collectors' items unless you have friends/relatives in Guernsey - or you flog them on ebay, I guess!
