Beverly found a great resource for children's picture books that can projected onto a Smartboard, or read on an iPad - Tumblebooks. I have previewed a number of them, and I suspect our students will find them as engaging and fun as I do.
The link to access Tumblebooks through the DC Public Library site is here: http://www.dclibrary.org/kids/videobooks
(you can also find the link to Bookflix there, which I describe below)

The engaging way to link fact and fiction, BookFlix reinforces early reading skills and introduces children to a world of knowledge and exploration."
