5.0 out of 5 stars Great story communicates the message, April 16, 2008

This review is from: Faux Paw's Adventures in the Internet: Keeping Children Safe Online (Paperback)

My kids read this book at school and loved it. It's a fun story about a cat who goes online and gets into trouble when he agrees to meet in person with another online kitty, "Happy Fluffy Kittyface." Kittyface turns out to be a big bulldog.

Fun story deals with a dark topic in a sensitive way with the traditional cat vs. dogs rivalry (Tom & Jerry, Sylvester & Tweetie Bird).

Recommend it highly.

This review is from: Faux Paw's Adventures in the Internet: Keeping Children Safe Online (Paperback)

My kids love the story. It is a terrific "read aloud" book.

Faux Paw helps kids learn how to be safe online. The book is a great tool helping young children learn critical safety rules when using the internet. Terrific animation. The book comes with an animated version of the book.

The movie won the student Emmy award.
