19th Century World Maps(1840's) and Geography/Google Books
This old Geography book is useful in sections, mostly for the maps. Look how different Europe was in the 1840's. If you are doing a study of this time period, there are some nice maps in An Easy Introduction to Geography, published in 1840. There is coverage of other areas which can be still be used such as early American History.

Out and All About(Animal and Nature Stories)/Google Books
Didactic story book about nature and animals. Elementary level, grade 3 and up(estimate). Click here.
The Child's Coloured Gift Book/Google Books

Everyday Number Stories/Google Books
Terrific illustrations for early math through about 5th grade. The word problems get progressively harder and include mixed fractions, something that my son is covering in his 5th grade Rod & Staff math curriculum. This book makes a wonderful extra practice book for him. I'll also be using it for my daughter when she gets older. Click here.

Yule-tide Stories: A Collection of Scandinavian and North German Popular Tales & Traditions
Interesting book. I've linked to The Wreath(Questenberg, Germany) which I enjoyed skimming. The reading level is probably later middle school and up. It's well written and catches you interest right away.
Download Help from a Download Manager
I have dial-up which may be the reason that I have trouble downloading book from Google, although I've not had this problem elsewhere. The other day, I stumbled upon a free download manager, and for the first time was able to download books off Google.
If you've had similar problems, you might want to try a download manager. It pauses and saves, which is especially good for dial-up so when you lose your connection you aren't having to begin again. It save the portion you have downloaded before you lost you connection, and resumes after you re-connect.

There are 1,794 audiobooks listed here for download. Unfortunately they are not categorized, so you'll need to use the search engine to find specific books, or browse through all of them.
These are MP3 downoads which can be burned onto a regular CD with Microsoft's Windows Media 11(free). I've downloaded a few to CD, and they played fine on my regular CD player in the car.
I'm working on a collection of vintage old time radio historical MP3's for children. They are wonderful to listen to while in the car.
