by Vincent

Jan 16, 2011

Heard about this useful & nice digital bookshelf from MakeUseOf ([link removed]).

I just think it's good choice for teachers, and students to read and organize different ebooks on such a bookshlef. And it also includes thousands of free ebooks to download.

I've changed the title in this reply to use a more specific title, which might draw more responses.

books4learning Magic Tree House is great for that level with lots of tie ins to other subjects.

I believe my kids read Fantastic Mr. Fox and Sarah, Plain and Tall at that age.
