Online Page by Page Previews of Children Books



I bumped into this great book services today and thought this might interest you, especially if you are a parent. Lookybook allows you to look at picture books in their entirety - from cover to cover, at your own pace.

The list of books is absolutely incredible! Currently there are over 300 books at LookyBook library that you can search through author/illustrator or subject/genre.

Every book can be reviewed, rated, shared and put on your Bookshelf. The Bookshelf is a place where you can collect and share your favorite books with members of LookyBook's community. Whenever you look at a book, LookyBook will provide a collection of other relevant books that you might enjoy at the left of the page. This way you can be sure you'll discover books that you never knew existed.

Unfortunately, the player, (not just here, but at the site as well), is too small. Some of the books are not readable. (but this is the only 'unfortunately' you'll hear from me about this site)




It's not fair! - Written by Anita Harper | Illustrated by Mary McQuillan | 32 pages | Ages 2-5

Clearly LookyBok is not coming to replace the magic of reading a book with your child at bedtime, but can reduce the frustrating process of finding the right books for your kids.

Wonderful site overall.
