Wondering what to do on a rainy afternoon? This is a huge Web site for both kids and adults. Book reviews, museum browsers, author pages--even a description of the medieval world--abound. Included also are youth religious organizations--they are inclusive of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism--and other organizations. These may need some "teacher briefing" before kids look at them. All in all, this is a great site. Introduce your students(and yourself) to this page immediately.
