BookRix.com

You not only can read all of those books online, you, your students, your class, a small group, etc. can write a story and publish it online.

I looked through the site and there are some really good things about it.  The books have a title and artwork on the cover.  When you open the book, on the right side is an arrow, which allows you to turn the page.  The pages are just like a book.  when you turn the page, it opens up and has two pages facing you.

There is one slight problem.  The books can be of all types, from children's books, to X rated stories.
Although an underage person cannot open the book that is X rated, all a person must do is sign up, so a student could lie when they register.  Also, this site might be blocked by a school system, even with the safe guard of watching for a person's age before opening X rated stories.

Besides writing stories, there are many children's books on line, although the ones I saw were older elementary children, not younger ones.
