All of these are new to us, will see if I can reserve the first one from the library. As always thanks for linking up to Book Sharing Monday.

Oh that must be SO annoying – paying such a premium for Dutch books! We are lucky that at least Germa books a readily available! Would be so frustrating in your shoes you need to find a nice “Exchange Family” in Holland!!

Thanks again for organising the swap!

I love what you wrote about the importance of books in a bilingual family! Just last night my husband was saying we need more Dutch books – the problem lies in that for every Dutch picture book we could be 3 or 4 English books – Dutch books in general are typically hardback, and I guess because of the smaller market and then smaller print runs the costs are higher. Spending nigh on £14 on a single book (especially with the exchange rate as it is!) isn’t something that is easy to do

Anyway, so glad you had fun with the swap!
