The International Childrens Digital Library (ICDL) brings a worldwide collection of childrens books to the iPhone. The largest collection of its kind, the ICDL spans the globe with thousands of childrens books from 60 countries, in a wide assortment of beautiful languages with captivating illustrations. Meet the six Mongolian brothers in search of knowledge, the gray peacemaker cat that does something most unusual to the other cats ears, or a version of the Three Little Pigs that you surely have never heard before.

The ICDL is brought to you on the iPhone with the kind support of the Zumobi Widget Network and the University of Marylands Human-Computer Interaction Lab. It presents 4 beautiful books drawn from the permanent collection, two from the US, one from Palestine, and one from Mongolia – each available in English and their native language, and each using ICDLs innovative "ClearText" technology which makes each word sharper than ever before on so small a screen.

These initial 4 books will be updated over time as we offer more books from our much larger collection available at www.childrenslibrary.org. We encourage you to come back often to enjoy the fruits of this wonderful collection. The full ICDL at www.childrenslibrary.org offers readers around the world free access to thousands of exemplary childrens books in almost 50 languages. Its mission is to excite and inspire young readers to become better world citizens by leveraging technology to reach underserved children who have little access to libraries. The ICDL is offered free of charge to everyone, everywhere with no advertising.
