At Kids Can Press, we recognize that viewing a single spread is not always effective when attempting to evaluate reading level, gauging student interest or appraising the quality and detail of illustration in a children’s book.

For this reason, we have worked with Lookybook.com to incorporate full, cover-to-cover previews of select picture books and early reading titles within our on-line store. We believe that Lookybook is the most compelling previewing experience currently available on-line, and that it’s as close and you can get to flipping through pages of the real book in a bookstore, at a trade show or school library. We hope that you will take advantage of this useful feature while browsing through our Web site.

For more information about Lookybook, or to read reviews of our books by librarians, industry experts and moms and dads, visit www.lookybook.com.
