Hi guys, A friend i know was going to put loads of books in the skip, so i rescued them. They are all different languages: French Dutch Korean Italian German to name a few. Their are no Asian ones unfortuantelly. They are not dual language so you may need to ask parents to translate. Anyway their free to a good home, their brand new samples most are more suitable for 0-3 with some non fiction books suitable for older ones. Im based in lutterworth if your interested. Petunia

Well recommended
