WeGiveBooks - virtual reader

For those of you who loved Lookybook (no longer active), WeGiveBooks allows teachers and students to view "virtual" picture books online. It is easy to create an account and you can read from a growing number books to your class using a projector or Smartboard.

This site allows you to read picture books online and for every book you choose, they will donate to needy schools. They currently have a new promotion, and are trying to set a reading record.

For more details about the contest, please visit - http://www.wegivebooks.org/newsletter/view/15

The featured book is "The Snowy Day" and the site offers a number of downloadable activities to go with the story.
