Children's Book Swap

[FillyjonktheFluffy]

Right, this is a thread for people who want to swap children's books.

For us, you understand, not the kids

Bascially you choose a book you like, send it out to someone, they read it and send it on...

Who's interested?

(and I seem to have volunteered to set up not one but two book swaps tonight...how the hell did that happen?)

Books/authors I like:

Moomins, Astrid Lingren, Aurora/Anna Cath.Vestley, Noel Streatfield, ummmm...loads more.

ok so we have

filly
emkana
franny

and I'm not sure from her message by ?lummox and ?tooticky (they both have great books, we need them)

Any more? Or do we keep it cosy?

What age child is this aimed at? I would be interested but suspect dd is too young, looking at the list of suggested authors.

Me please? I have got a few already and am accumulating more. Silly question, but do we get the books back?

WWB, I think the swap is for US to re-read old favourites and discuss them, not for our children :)

Wombling, if it works the same way as the other book swaps, you send them round in a circle until they eventually get back to you. However I wouldn't send anything treasured or precious as it is going to get a bit knackered en route I would imagine.

However this is Filly's swap so she may have other ideas.

I wonder if I am the only saddo to have 'lending copies' of some of my favourites, so I don't have to part with the originals

Thanks Franny,

I don't really have second copies of books to lend out, but I often buy the same book twice, because I've forgotten I had it already - durr!

I also seemed to have killed all three threads about childrens books stone dead - oops! Hope the swaps happen,anyway, cos it sounds fun.

id love to join in - thought I was only weirdo who likes childrens books. would love to discover more good childrens writers [happy]

i wouldn’t mind joining, my fav book as a kid was jenny and the cat club by esther averill, always had a thing about cats
although not sure if i could part with it,
