Anne P., Jonathan, How do some of the pages linked to from "IPL Youth Collection: Reading Zone--Picture Books" at http://www.ipl.org/cgi-bin/youth/youth.out.pl?sub=rzn2000 go towards meeting your standards for "reading optional" sites? I have CC'd this page's author because it is a shame to me that an "index of picture books" (like this page is): 1) Has a large and distracting navigation sidebar (the attractive and inviting icons take away from the resources on the page). IMHO this material belongs only at the bottom. 2) There are no representative pictures for the links to the various picture books! This omission is tragic! This means that non-readers who find their way to a book they like will have a heck of time finding their way there again (on another day)! (Assuming that they have this IPL picture book page indexed in some usable way.)
