Ive been a fan of ICDL for years. So many quality books for children from all over the world. Hope more books are added soon. As well ICDL needs to seek author permission to create an audio track for each line of text in each story. After all, it will be children, parents and teachers who download the books to ipods and iphones. And I believe this audience would want to hear the book as well as read it. Thank you

Description
The International Childrens Digital Library (ICDL) brings a worldwide collection of childrens books to the iPhone. The largest collection of its kind, the ICDL spans the globe with thousands of childrens books from 60 countries, in a wide assortment of beautiful languages with captivating illustrations. Meet the six Mongolian brothers in search of knowledge, the gray peacemaker cat that does something most unusual to the other cats ears, or a version of the Three Little Pigs that you surely have never heard before.
The ICDL is brought to you on the iPhone with the kind support of the Zumobi Widget Network and the University of Marylands Human-Computer Interaction Lab. It presents 4 beautiful books drawn from the permanent collection, two from the US, one from Palestine, and one from Mongolia – each available in English and their native language, and each using ICDLs innovative "ClearText" technology which makes each word sharper than ever before on so small a screen.
These initial 4 books will be updated over time as we offer more books from our much larger collection available at www.childrenslibrary.org. We encourage you to come back often to enjoy the fruits of this wonderful collection. The full ICDL at www.childrenslibrary.org offers readers around the world free access to thousands of exemplary childrens books in almost 50 languages. Its mission is to excite and inspire young readers to become better world citizens by leveraging technology to reach underserved children who have little access to libraries. The ICDL is offered free of charge to everyone, everywhere with no advertising.

just 4 books
i think the web site is great but the iPhone app still demands a lot of upgrade. just 4 books is practically useless, text (expecially arabic) needs more enlarge options. you should let people bookmark pages of books they read and more integration with registered users options needed.
Ok
Its not bad but just ok
Great idea needs work
Text navigation needs work it feels choppy. The scans of pages need to be higher resolution. Its a small screen the pages should pop and text be intuitive to navigate. Kudos for including bilingual books as well as the old school three little pigs. More books! Great start, hope to see this one improve.
Has potential
The books need to be age specific or something. I like all the books, but children includes my 2 & 4 year old, who get antsy with too many words, and they turn the page too soon on the books other than Waldo.
