Summary

How can Joe find out all he wants to know about building when Radu doesn't speak English?

The Romanian Builder Summary

The Romanian Builder by P.R. Prendergast

Joe had so many questions for the new builder: Which tool was the most important? What if you were afraid of heights? How do you put scaffolding together?

He is really disappointed when he finds out that Radu doesnt speak any English. Now he will never find out about building or will he?

A story of understanding without words A new series of books for modern, multi-cultural Ireland for children aged 6-8
