More ebooks for young readers: BookFlix

We are also exploring the BookFlix online library.  (Appropriately, for the weather, we saw Ezra Jack Keats' The Snowy Day along with Snowy Weather Days, an informational ebook about snow).  BookFlix, from Scholastic, pairs together classic video storybooks with nonfiction ebook on the same theme.   Like One More Story, the books have a read-along feature, which allows the beginning reader to follow along with the text as the book is read aloud. While this is a subscription product, it is free through the New York York Public Library with your library card barcode number.  To get there: go to the New York Public Library ebooks page.
