English kids' books in Budapest
Spending a month in Hungary in July. My kids (8 and 6) go through so
many books that I know I won't have room to take enough with me to last them a whole month. And they don't speak or read Hungarian. Google is bringing up lots of results for bookstores and public libraries in Budapest that have books in English. But there is no indication that they have anything for kids. Anyone know of any? Having to buy everything they will want to read will break the bank, so a public library would be ideal. Thanks. -- K. Lang may your lum reek.

Kindle. Or iPad. Neat idea. Not for kids, though. Too fragile and valuable. Need good ol' paper books that they can read on the beach and leave lying around when they go swimming. -- K. Lang may your lum reek.

Seems to me that introducing them to children's picture books in Hungarian might spur them to learn the language. (And it seems to be an accepted fact that children learn languages much more easily and quickly than adults.) Of all the European languages I've encountered, Hungarian seems the most difficult (not to say impossible) for an English-speaker - why not give your kids a head start with it?
