books: KIDS BOOKS (3-14 years, last updated: 19th May) (Gilmerton EH17)

Hi there
~ last updated: 17th May

Some children's books are back on the offer, in part thanks to other freecyclists! :) They are all good condition.

The current list is:

RICHARD SCARRY'S
'THE NIGHT BEFORE THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS!'
an A4 size paperback Busy Town characters festive story book with 4 stories (3 shorter and 1 longer one)


GUINEA PIGS (128 pages, comfort print and smaller print combined)
'Understanding and caring for your pet'
photo-illustrated small size guidebook, paperback


IN THE MAGICIAN'S HOUSE (a you-decide-what-happens-next type of read
91 pages + preview texts from the author's other similar books, comfort print)
by D.M. Potter

''This is a book which doesn't play straight. The Magician's house is like that too - things move around. If you like things that are a little unpredictable then you'll love this book. Curl up and enjoy it. This book won't mind.

Dreams swirl around in the Magician's house just like dust does in the corners of other houses. Little stories get stuck in the crannies. Just for a moment, while you are sweeping, you can find yourself running across a green field, steering an iron horse through twisty roads, or picking ripe strawberries in a bright, warm field.
Some mornings, just getting to breakfast is an adventure!''


Collection only, but flexible availability :)

I also offer some books for the grown-ups and for forever kids here on Freegle:


or you can take a bag of assorted genres books (no kids' books included with this offer):


Literally,

Lili

From tree-top flights and Spanish galleons, to thrilling battles and sporting greatness – it seems like nothing is out of reach when you can share a dream with someone else.

But… impossible dreams come with incredible risks, and when Seb won’t wake up and is taken to hospital in a coma, Malky is forced to leave reality behind and undertake a final, terrifying journey to the stone-age to wake his brother...''
