Picture Books from Project Gutenberg
Saturday, March 1st, 2008
In my last post, I indicated that I wanted to add some more children’s books to the flashcard offerings at Moone Leaf. Well, the folks at the Rosetta Project are a little possessive of their material. They use JavaScript to make downloading their images impossible and warn that taking images or text from the site is “electronic theft”. While I am pretty sure that copies of public domain images cannot be “stolen” and I am plenty able to use my mad screen-capture skillz to grab their images, I have decided to stick with using Project Gutenberg books for now, since there are plenty of them.
The main problem with Project Gutenberg, however, is that the books are not very well organized. While I can search on title or author, there is no way to search for picture books or books for young children. And so it has taken me quite some time to compile a list of picture books for possible conversion to this site. Since I am a caring, sharing sort of person, here is the list so far:
-
