- Children's Books Online: The Rosetta Project
- Growing up, most tikes have a certain story they must hear before they'll agree to turn in for the night. Falling asleep quickly is the kid's job. Reading the same book for the umpteenth time (with minimal sarcasm) is the parent's. This site, entitled Children's Books Online, boldly declares itself "the largest collection of illustrated antique children's books online "we think" and serves as a readable museum of beloved tales from years gone by. And when we say "readable," we mean it -- each book can be read online, from e-cover to e-cover. Some of these books have become so iconic that it's a little strange to see them as they originally were -- just books. On the other hand, not all will be familiar -- anyone call for a Twinkle and Chubbins? A great opportunity to catch up on some classic literature that won't require Cliff Notes, this site makes for good reading. -

- Popular Baby Names
- The bard said it best when he posed the question that plagues every expectant parent: What's in a name? Quite a bit, judging by the creativity (or lack thereof) displayed by American moms and dads. This site, from the Social Security Administration, isn't the cutest site on the block, but you'll find it's a great way to waste some time. Hit Ctrl+F, then type in a name and see where it ranks. Want to know the top 1000 names of the 1920s? They're here, along with name data for every decade from 1900 to the present. You'll also find a year-by-year breakdown of baby names from 1996 to 2001. So what was the most popular moniker in 2001? It wasn't Destiny,
Princess, or even Unique, though they all cracked the top 1000. Take a fascinating look at the ever-changing world of identity. -
