Create Your Own Cyber-bookshelf with Lookybook

Mill Valley illustrator Craig Frazier has released a beta version of his children's book site, www.lookybook.com. Lookybook helps educators and parents make informed consumer choices about picture books by allowing users to "click" through illustrated pages and peruse a title in its entirety.
Books are listed by author and illustrator as well as by subject. The latter category is quite extensive with links to titles about living things, concepts, holidays, issues and behavior, academic subjects and cultural diversity.
Idea: Create a class bookshelf. Lookybook is interactive allowing readers to leave comments.
