Very preachy
This book has a grand purpose, but I'm not sure it's the best resource out there. It starts out with an eye-opening introduction and then goes into a chapter on what is the Internet. Unfortunately, it explains it in very simplified and generalized terms. The next chapter explains the dangers present, which is useful information. The third tells what not to do when surfing on the Internet, and the last tells what one should do on the Internet to ensure a positive experience. Unfortunately, the book's tone gears it toward a younger audience than it appears to be made for. Few elementary students would pick up a non-fiction chapter book that sounds like it was written for their first-grade siblings. They would probably also be turned off by the pictures of computers which look like they've been around since the 80's. I would recommend a book that covers this topic in more depth and with less of a preachy tone. ... Read more

Kids get hooked on it!
I've spoken to many kids who love the book and reread it. They say that hearing from other kids really appeals to them and the stories are mini-adventures. Each story is only about a page long. . . perfect forreaders not ready to tackle novels. And for kids starting to babysit. Allthe stories don't have happy endings but the advice is sound and will getkids thinking. ... Read more

Great introduction for little ones...
My 2.5 year-old son got scared when the oven smoked and set the smoke detector off. This book has fun illustrations and goes over all the basic fire safety rules that can be practiced with your family. It may be a bit wordy for some young kids, but overall it is easy to understand and has helped my son be less afraid of the fire alarm. ... Read more
