          With the respect and understanding that mothers are always diligent, creative, and passionate with whatever tasks they undertake, one would not be surprise to learn that they can also adapt their passions to utilize the modern technologies to extend their skills in the virtual world. A group of four Californian mothers did this very same concept and created this website because of their passion for reading. Storysnoops.com contains a library of children’s books that intended to target children at the age of 9 through 18 to develop and expand their interests in reading.

          One of the significant features in this website is a Children Comic Books. With this feature, children can search for any comic books that they desire to read. With a huge collection of comic books that children can obtain from this significant feature, children can expand their own library or collection of this fun to read books.

          In the Children Story Books, it features great tool that children can be very engaged in doing. This tool allows kids to personalize their own books. Parents and/or teachers can give the kids to perform with the well – known characters in stories they read or have their own names on the cover of the story books. Personlized Disney Frozen Story Book is just one of the sample books that are featured in this special tool.

          Finally, one of the very special features that these special mothers created in this website is the Listen to Audio Books page. In this page children can obtain a free trial to listen to up to three books when they sign up for free in this very page. Furthermore, they can also obtain a premium library of books with more than 200,000 books along with more than 800 audio books.

          The works of these mothers truly reflect the love they have for reading as well as their sincere concerns for their children. When children as well as parents utilize this tool, their interests and love toward reading will never be the same.
