And while on the subject of kiddywinks...
- Storybook England is a great site that maps childrens' classics (via Boynton)
- Mariana from Gatochy has been busy uploading portuguese childrens' book scans to a relatively new site, Histórias da Carochinha (see the September archives)
- Patricia from Agence Eureka has also been uploading some great scans to webshots.
- The russian LiveJournal KidPix site has an eclectic set of scans and links (hint: head for the links in brackets at the bottom of most entries)
