I don't foresee kids going to Wikibooks to view Wikijunior books. I do see them
going to a static pre-approved snapshot of Wikijunior books at wikijunior.org.
In a similar fashion, static pre-approved snapshots of regular textbooks from
Wikibooks that are part of Wikiversity courses could be hosted at
wikiversity.org.
