Library Week - Day 3

0comments
Welcome to 'Dress Up Like a Book Character Day'!  What is your favourite costume??


Today's clip is just for fun - no learning involved.  If you worked at Harper Collins publishers, and were bored at lunchtime, what do you think you might do with all the books just lying around? 






How long do you think it took them to pick all those up?  :-)
