Magicblox.com

When I found this website I was very excited. It was inviting, kid friendly and had an amazing selection of picture books! I went to read a book and it only showed my the first eight pages, so I decided to create a free account like the site suggested. When I made a free account I was then offered options to upgrade my account so I could have access to more books. I eventually found out that with the free account I could have access to only one picture book a month. You choose a book that stays in your personal library until the completion of the month. It then resets and you can choose a new book. Since this is the case it really limits the number of books children can read from this site, however there are some positives. If a teacher creates an account on this site and they choose one book a month they could have it as another option for students to use during independent reading time or the teacher could use it as a whole class read aloud. I know it is frustrating that you are limited to only one book a month, but if it isn't the only website or app you're using for digital picture books, having
access to this amazing selection of books could provide useful for your students. This site is also helpful because it provides a rating for the books as well as comments from people who have read them. This can be useful when selecting a book each month.
