Testimonials
"It is heartening to find a UK company providing children's books in many languages, especially for children whose first language is not English. Particularly interesting is having the same book available in a foreign language and English. This can help readers of English to learn another language and vice versa."
Eileen Browne - author and illustrator (Handa's Surprise)
"We were lucky enough to win £100 in a competition offered by World Books. The choice of titles and languages was amazing, and myself and the students had great fun in choosing which titles we should have! The cost effectiveness of the books meant we were able to purchase more than I expected. The students have appreciated that they have the opportunity to continue to read books for pleasure in their own language. The speed of the delivery was excellent as was the quality of the books themselves. I would certainly hope to be able to purchase more from World books in the future."
Ann Ong EAL Coordinator St. Johns Comprehensive, Gravesend
"As a Language college with most of our students having English as a second language, World Language Books has proved a really fantastic resource for us. I have ordered from the website, which is very user friendly and had an on site visit. I was really impressed with the professional and extremely friendly service. The books are good quality and a good range of titles are available in languages which are often really hard to get hold of. The students are thrilled with the books and I would recommend World Language Books to other Librarians and schools as a first class quality service."
Lesley Cheetham Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Language College, London
"I have been absolutely delighted with the first class service we have received from worldlanguagebooks. The ease of ordering; high quality stock; fantastic range of titles and language; prompt delivery and first class service have made it a pleasure to deal with. We have a range of languages spoken in our school and these students have all greatly appreciated the opportunity to read for pleasure in their own language. When we requested books in Romanian we were delighted at the personal attention we received. I confidently recommend worldlanguagebooksonline and will definitely be using the service again."
Amy McKay, Librarian, Corby Community College

"World Language Books is a service which offers a wonderful resource for teachers and parents who are looking for attractive and readable books in languages other than English. It provides exciting and contemporary texts in a wide range of languages for ages from 4 to 13 years old. Teachers are frequently on the look out for age, language and content relevant material for their learners. World Language Books should be their first port of call."
Dr Catherine Wallace (Reader in Education)Institute of Education, University of London
"How glad I am that I chanced on the World Language Books site. The Polish novels we ordered for the School Library arrived quickly and were eagerly borrowed by our Polish students. A further request for books to help these students with their studies was given personal attention and we are particularly delighted with our Polish language copies of Lord of the Flies and To Kill a Mockingbird. This company offers an excellent product and a superb level of service. Highly recommended."
D Trafford (School Librarian) St Peter's Secondary School, Huntingdon
