Summary: An awesome and entertaining Internet guide
Review: "Awesome Internet Sites for Kids" certainly lives up to its title. The nearly 300 kid-friendly websites surveyed by co-authors Sandra Antoniani, Robyn Rektor, Lisa Slage Robinson, and Fiona Rowan cover everything from animals to world cultures. Each entry, geared toward nine- to twelve-year-old readers, provides a pithy description of a particular site's contents and a helpful age-range indicator. (My sons have especially enjoyed the Jokes, Music, and Fun & Games sections.) Colorful illustrations by Terri Lee, along with "Did You Know?" and other sidebar features, make the book fun for all ages.

Summary: Great Children's Internet Book!!
Review: I don't know why anyone hasn't reviewed this book yet! My daughter received this book for her birthday a few weeks ago and she just loves it! I find this book to be very safe for my children to use. I don't have to worry about them going to an inappropriate site! Aside from all the fun sites, they find the information sites a great asset for their homework assignments. It helped my children to see that the Internet has so much more to offer than they were taking advantage of. I found some great sites for myself, too. This is definitely a great book for children to have! The little Smorkie guy is really cute, love the graphics!
