TumbleBooks - ebooks for ekids -

Lola en la biblioteca -"(Spanish) School Library Journal - July 1, 2006 Lola loves Tuesdays because that is the day she and her mother go to the library. Everything about the trip is an exciting adventure -- from packing her backpack with books and her all-important library card, to storytimes and singing, to choosing new books and the walk home, when they always stop for a special treat. But the best time of all is when Mommy reads her story at bedtime. Simple text and large, bright acrylic illustrations of this engaging African-American child makes this selection just right for sharing. Perfect for instilling a love of libraries and books in the youngest patrons, it's a winner.

When I started reading these I realized I used most of these sites and didn't realize I was using ebooks all along. We also read those on Starfall.com. A few of these sites I have not used. Most of them I have. I just don't have them listed in the Catalog on Destiny.
