Checking out a children's book before buying it

Online stores have a great selection. Amazon currently has over three million books available. Just amazing!

Regular book stores can not complete on selection. One of the things they are able to do is to let you touch the books, to open them up and browse through a book.

A friend sent me a link to Lookybook. They are bridging the gap. Their about page explains:

-----------
Picture books are for looking at. Lookybook allows you to look at picture books in their entirety—from cover to cover, at your own pace. We know that nothing will replace the magic of reading a book with your child at bedtime, but we aim to replace the overwhelming and frustrating process of finding the right books for parents and their kids.
-----------

Pretty cool. Now you can look at a book online, before buying it, online!
