Would you like to read an e-book?

You all know how much I love reading, especially e-books on my Kindle. 
Today I came across some e-books for children.

Here  for books aimed at 7-9
Here  for books aimed at 9-11

If you have any younger brothers or sisters why not show them too. Click here

Find a good book and let me know what you think.

Happy reading.
