Evaluation comments:
“This digital product opens up, literally, a library of books. The user can pick the age levels and categories and create virtual bookshelves for each of their “Book Chat Buddies.” I have experimented and have a bookshelf with preschool books for the themes for the next few weeks of my virtual classroom. The site is user friendly, full of educational books. Great for ages birth to 12. Parents, grandparents, day care providers and teachers would all get a lot from this website.”
“I like that it is user friendly. Also, when you share a book (I practiced with a co-worker), the pages appear to turn and you hear a page turning swoosh, imitating a real book. I liked the variety of books.”
“I would actually like to have it for my class and to share books with some of my students that have vision issues so they can see the books I share up close. I think this is a great tool. Once again, especially now with virtual classrooms.”
