I made a webpage using their images and I got permission by making links to
Amazon.  I had to get my school board approval to do this, but they readily
agreed when we could have any $ earned this way returned to our own district
to support our Young Author Program.
If you'd like to take a look at my site see:

Let me know what you think.  I wish I had the ability to use frames but
maybe later.
You can find out more about this by looking at "join amazon associates" on
their website.
