BigUniverse.com 07/22/2008
 

I just discovered BigUniverse.com today, and I had to share.  This is a great site — a great companion to ICDL.  BigUniverse is dedicated to children's picture books, and the quality is very high. 

BigUniverse let's you do a number of cool things.  First off, you can create your picture book.  Next, you can read popular press picture books from well know authors.  (In their media press releases, BigUniverse reports that this feature has increased book sales.)  You can, of course, purchase books right from the site.  Next, you can connect with children's book authors and experts who blog through the site.  Finally, you can create your own bookshelf of books from BigUniverse.  This would be a great way to keep up with the books you really like or want to use in your classroom.

To go along with your blog post, I found a similar site called LookyBook <http://www.lookybook.com/>. This interactive site allows children and parents to read entire picture books. The books can be reviewed, rated, shared, put on a bookshelf and purchased. The best part about LookyBook is the fact that it is free!
