Here's another link to a classic story: My Father's Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett You can see the menu on the left side of the page will lead you back to the ' Juvenile Fiction' area of the site where you can browse the many other categories of books. The Online Books Page at the University of PennĪlthough somewhat cumbersome to navigate, this site has a wealth of kids literature available! I've tagged the Animals in Juvenile Fiction page for you since there are so many books about animals ( Try "The Voyages of Doctor Doolittle" by Hugh Lofting if you haven't already read it ). There is even a cool category titled " School Stories" where all the short stories & novels take place at schools - think "Little Men" or "A Little Princess". You'll find books for kids in a variety of categories: fiction, biography, fairy tales, instructional. Here is the direct link to the Children's Bookshelf at Project Gutenberg.
FREE BOOKS TO READ ONLINE FOR KIDS SERIES
You can also find a number of vintage book series for kids like The Bobbsey Twins & the Five Little Peppers. It's a great place to find a read aloud for the kids - " The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" anyone?! Many of the books found here are text only, available as html or in Kindle format (easily read on your laptop). And also many older books that you may no longer be able to find because they are out of print. They are a great resource for classic literature - all those novels that we read as kids and our kids should read or hear. One of the original places to find books online, Project Gutenberg takes books whose US copyright has expired and places them on the web in a digital copy. Hope you find something to keep the kids happy and engaged too! I've included resources for the iPad, Kindle, Nook and laptop - and also some great finds for audio books and online videos!
FREE BOOKS TO READ ONLINE FOR KIDS FREE
So, I did some research on where we can find free online books & reading material for vacation and I thought I would share. Not to mention, she's a voracious reader (finishes a book off faster than an ice cream cone!) so she'll tear through those in the first few days of our trip and then need more.

So, as a parent, here's where I jump up and down saying 'Yea! She loves to read!" but the practical side of me says there's no way we can pack that many books. We're heading out for summer vacation soon and I asked my daughter what she wants to bring in her suitcase - her 'very important items' include a swimsuit, blankie & 32 books!
