Looking for bilingual resources for the Kindergirl, I came across this really excellent online library of children's books from around the world: International Children's Digital Library They have a straightforward mechanism for paging through the books, easy enough for a five year old, and a very nice search facility (though I have yet to crack the code behind the book cover colors): Simple Search
I particularly like that they collaborate with children as design partners in the web interface.

Thanks! I found myself trying to read a Spanish animal book at the office. I'm really impressed you are finding cool things to help with the kinder transition. I'm still so exhausted at the end of each day. I may, in fact, be more tired than my kids. It reminds me of when my parents wanted to take naps on our family vacations and I couldn't understand why.
