Tuesday, April 30th - Free Books! Online or download!

Hundreds of FREE children's books is truly free!  You do need to join by giving your age and e-mail to access all the books, or you can just read the editor's pick without giving any information, this is a very cool site!  The books don't have recorded readings and are user page turned.  wegivebooks.org is from the Pearson Foundation (Pearson does textbooks) and once a year gives a printed book to children for free to promote reading.

Schools can earn free physical books by reading online books, look into it for your kid's local school!
