Aaron, This is beautiful. Could you add a license page and a credits page, both linked from the startpage? Include the photographer information for all images used (this is something others can help with/proofread, as you publish your progress). I don't think that you need to change a thing about the text or layout for a quick release.
For the future, simpler language suitable for early primary would be good: short sentences, one paragraph per idea, short words where possible. And more icons/small images to denote major sections or themes would help both localizers and low-literacy readers/teachers. 20M for the music is a good target. A couple of entire pieces and snippets of the rest (with a link to the complete version online) is one way to go. However, you should first look into the gain you get from compression - headphones will pick up the difference in quality, but the built-in XO speakers may not. And with the structure in place, one can always create both the abridged and the unabridged version.
