Excellent, SJ! Someone directed me to the International Children's Digital Library ( http://en.childrenslibrary.org/ ) as a possible source for content. I haven't contacted them yet - but will.
Also, I am working with Open Library on a partnership project with BPL (Boston Public Library) known as Scan-On-Demand: http://openlibrary.org/bpl There are some children's books - unfortunately, they aren't categorized by subject (yet) - fortunately, I am redesigning that page :-) - I am building a similar collection of the "best of" books from what we have scanned - I will send the Library-OLPC list anything I find - In the meantime, feel free to queue up any books you find interesting for scanning!
