We Give Books was started by Penguin Group and the Pearson Foundation to "support literacy through programs that engage entire communities through literacy and awareness programs". The We Give Books program is an initiative that allows anyone with Internet access to give books to children in need. When you sign up you can choose from one of five charities. Then you can select from one of 151 digital picture books (both fiction and non fiction) to read online.
This is all completely free for the reader! Simply choose the charity you want to read for and then select the books you want to read. For each book you read online, a book is donated to a leading literacy group on your behalf. So please sign up and support literacy.

Format: eBook
Genre: Childrens
Source: We Give Books

Told in rhyme, the reader meets Roly Poly, a very small pangolin that is not very adventurous and each sound and specie scares him very much.
One day when he is frightened, Roly Poly stumbles and curls up into a tight ball so he can hide from the world. What was that sound? When Roly Poly has the courage to open his eyes, just a little bit, he sees something looking back at him.
Do you have a shy young one? This book might just be the right icebreaker to let your child know that if you try just a little, there is a whole wide world out there and maybe, just maybe, you will find a new friend.
PANGOLINS are an endangered species that have furry tummies and no teeth. They protect themselves by rolling into tight balls so that they are completely covered by their scales.
