Children’s Books Forever is a website that has free downloads of children’s books. The books are downloadable in .pdf format, so you need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your PC/Laptop in order to view the books. The site includes picture books and books for early readers all by American author Hans Wilhelm. The books are intended for use as a whole class exercise using a digital projector or IWB. They can also be included into Powerpoint files. The illustrations in the books are high quality and attractive. The print in some of the books is quite small and some children may have difficulty reading it from a distance. However, it may be possible to organise the class to be near the whiteboard when reading one of these books. It’s a site well worth a visit and is probably most suitable for the junior end of the primary school. You can view the books at:
