Rosetta Project: Antique Children's Books Online

I came across a very interesting site this week (thanks to Write4Kids): the Rosetta Project is a volunteer organization dedicated to posting electronic versions of antique children's books. The scope of the project is quite amazing. Just a brief browse through the Super Index, brought me to so many nearly-forgotten favorites...here are just a few:

• "My Shadow" from A Child's Garden of Verses (one of my favorite poetry books as a child)
• Beautifully illustrated Eugene Field poems like Wynken, Blynken, & Nod and The Sugar Plum Tree (both staples of my childhood reading)
• Pinnochio in it's entirety!
• The Little Engine that Could illustrated by Lois Lenski
• Raggedy Ann in Cookie Land (This one cracked me up. I remembered the cover of this book vividly from my childhood, and I remembered the soda water icicles like I could taste them. But as I read on, the book takes all kinds of strange turns and twists that I have no recollection of. Funny how memory works!)
• All kinds of Beatrix Potter books

Have fun browsing!
