Author: Larry Dane Brimner
Publishing information: (Children's Press, April 1997, Gr 2-4)
Number of Pages: 48
Genre: Informational
Summary of Plot:
This book explores the internet. It tells kids how html works, how to look for things on the web, and how it is important to stay safe online. It is informational, and doesn't really have a major plot or story line.
My Reaction to the book:
This book was informative, yet boring. Even for the grade level I do not think it would hold an attention span as long as other books. I did like that it gave ideas of websites to look up: such as info about Egypt, coloring pages, and dinosaurs. I thought it was too detailed for this age group.
Potential Problems:
Some of the words may be too technical and unnecessary for a child to learn and/or understand.
Recommendations:
I would suggest this book to those who are not comfortable teaching their kids how to search the web. At this day and age though, the kids will naturally learn things from the world they live in. Therefore, this book may be superfluous. I would not recommend it.
