I just discovered this really beautiful site called LookyBook, where you can actually flip through picture books and read them in their entirety. Now, while this is fantastically fun and impressive, the book images are a bit small, and will never truly take the place of holding the book in your lap. Which is why it's so great-- you can browse the book before you decide if you want to buy it.
What does this have to do with multicultural books? Not too much, but there are quite a number of multicultural titles in their listing so far, and you can browse by geographic area. They have many books that we carry in our catalog, which is nice to see (no Shen's Books yet-- you can bet I'll be working on that).
Best of all, you can embed a bit of code to put on your own website our blog, and your readers can look through a book right there. Click on the book below, and click to "turn" the pages. How cool is that?!
