| Fairrosa Cyber Library of Children's Literature http://www.fairrosa.info/ "The purpose of these pages is not to entertain children or child readers. It will delight fairrosa greatly if any child finds the collection of stories to their liking and if educators use the content in conjunction with their literary curricula. However, these pages are simply humble offerings to grown-ups who find deep satisfaction in the studying and exchanging discourses of the art of children's literature." |
| LibraryThing "Helps people catalog their books easily. You can access your catalog from anywhere—even on your mobile phone. Because everyone catalogs together, LibraryThing also connects people with the same books, comes up with suggestions for what to read next, and so forth." |

My favorite question from students is, “Can you help me find a good book?” |
