"Explore centuries of stories, poems and illustrations with Discovering Children’s Books, a free online resource for children, teachers and book-lovers of all ages. The site explores the history and rich variety of children’s literature, drawing on inspiring material from medieval fables to contemporary picture books.
Over 100 treasures are waiting to be found, from one-of-a-kind manuscripts to original illustrations. Collection highlights include original manuscripts, artworks, poems, drafts and notebooks by authors and illustrators such as Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, Kenneth Grahame, Judith Kerr, John Agard, Quentin Blake, Axel Scheffler, Lauren Child, Zanib Mian and Liz Pichon. The website also provides access to some of the earliest printed works created for a young readership and an array of movable, miniature, noisy and toy books, propaganda stories, comics, poems and fairy tales."

A wonderful new site from The British Library to explore! There's so much here:
I already started a miniature book station for students to make their own books. Easy, cheap and fun!
Thanks to Gary Price at Infodocket for sharing this site!
