Little Red Riding Hood
"This delightful slide show is narrated in RealAudio format by a professional Mother Goose storyteller. In 1990, a traditional version of Little Red Riding Hood was removed from schools in Empire, California because of the wine Little Red brought her grandmother. Authorities said the story "condones the use of alcohol." This online version, however, does not include the bottle of wine. For those fascinated by the history of this fairy tale, click on over to the University of Southern Mississippi’s Little Red Riding Hood Project"

Little Explorers
"What a fun way to surf the Net! Each letter of Little Explorers’ dictionary has dozens of illustrated entries, most of them linked to additional sites. Explore Africa, acid rain, astronomy and more. As you roam onto the Net, the Little Explorers’ alphabet frame remains at the top of your screen, so you can return at any time. The dictionary is also available in English/Spanish, English/French , English/German, English/Italian , English/Portugese and English/Japanese."

Literacy Center
"The Literacy Center uses a modified Montessori approach to teaching reading, with a selection of four alphabet exercises, and five more for numbers, colors, and shapes. After choosing between upper and lower-case, you can click through the alphabet to see and hear each letter. Clicking on the yellow and green triangles will toggle you in and out of two different interactive activities. Although the navigation scheme isn’t at all self-explanatory, the activities themselves are first rate."

Many letters have additional pictures (C is for car and cat) available by clicking on the small blue plus. For five more alphabet and counting games, select Activities from the yellow horizontal menu, then choose Preschool- K. These free games are a teaser for the Learning Planet subscription service; games which are not clickable are available only to paying subscribers."
