Donovan Lambright, Automation Librarian

Here's one for you Children's Librarians out there.  Lookybook is a new website that allows anyone to browse through hundreds of picture book and peek inside.  Actually, it's more than a peek.  If you want to, you can flip through the book and see each  and every page.

The site is designed to help publishers sell books by letting people see the illustrations but a creative librarian will immediately see other uses.  Just don't forget that the book is still copyrighted; Lookybook is meant to give you an idea of what is in the book.  It's not meant to be a replacement for buying your own copy.

Another fantastic children's picture book website is: http://www.biguniverse.com/. They have hundreds of beautiful fiction and nonfictions (current) titles but more importantly, they have a pretty slick tool that enables you to create your own children's picture books online (very cool!).
