We’ve pointed out different public domain children’s book sites like Project Guggenheim and the Rosetta Project before, but those might have been too dated and retro-awesome for some modern mommies, daddies and kiddies.
Over at ChildrensLibrary.org they have full color scans of hundreds of kid’s book titles that are a little more current than my favorite from the 19th century, The Children’s Friend!
As you can see from the image above featuring a lovely dung beetle, the buttons at the top make flipping through (and even enlarging) the books easy, though it will never be the same as having a REAL book in your hands. For the price, though, who can complain!
Another great reason to check this site out is the international translations. A book written in both English and Spanish could be great study tool or presentation topic for your high schooler!
NOM!
