digital books

An online collection of scanned picture books and children's chapter books, available for free browsing and reading.  Includes books in many languages (Farsi, Arabic, Spanish, , and has some "exhibitions" with themes and lesson plans.  The books are beautifully scanned copies and a mix of old favorites and books that are new to me.  The collection can be searched by the age range for which it is most appropriate, theme, book length, character-type (i.e. kids, animals, fantasy characters...).
