Free Books for Toddlers in England
We miss out on a lot of good programs living in Vietnam. If we lived in the UK right now, we’d be able to get some of the nine million books Education Secretary Ruth Kelly is promising to children between one and four years old. (BBC News, July 25, 2005)
The Bookstart project will hand out the following packs to children of three different age groups.
- Children aged up to one will receive a Bookstart for Babies pack, containing two baby books, a nursery rhyme placemat, advice on sharing stories a booklist and an invitation to join a local library.
- For children aged one to two, there will be a Bookstart Plus pack, with a satchel-style bag, two books, a scribble pad and crayons, a booklist for toddlers and information about local libraries.
- A Bookstart Treasure Chest will be given to three to four year olds, with the aim of encouraging the first stages of writing. This will include two books, an activity book, scribble pad and crayons
I’m not one to pass up any free goodies. Luckily, I won’t be in England to fight with you over one of these goody packs.

I will try and get my children these free books. I only saw the poster while in the local casualty department on Friday night. I am a Foster Carer so any free material is very useful.
