The Children s Book Council provides links to web pages of authors and illustrators of children s books. Over 200 authors including Jean Craighead George, Patricia Polacco, and Jon Sciezska are linked to this page. Jan Brett has a fabulous Web site with an almost endless supply of information and activities to go along with her books. My favorite part of this site is the Little Explorers picture dictionary. There are over 1,800 illustrated dictionary entries with each word used in a meaningful example sentence.
Most entries even have links to a child-friendly Website.
This site has some great word games for kids of all ages. It also has games in other areas such as math, the universe, and culture. If you need even more learning games, then visit Gamequarium.
