BookBox
July 13, 2005 -- From Bernadette Joseph, a parent from Oakland, CA, who is not affiliated with the site
The site offers stories for online reading in an amazing variety of languages. Great animation too! I’ve always struggled with showing too much TV & DVDs to my children. This site allows me to show them something on screen that actually makes them read! And it’s helping them learn Spanish too.

I stumbled on this site by accident, but it is a wonderful treasure of activities for kids! There are online games and with the free membership you can print out loads of books for reading and coloring. I recommend it to anyone with children. What a wonderful way to get a child interested in reading!
