Amazon.com Review

It's one thing for adults to write about the Net sites they think kids should enjoy, but what do the kids themselves think? Here's the answer--174 pages full of Internet sites chosen and reviewed by kids from around the world, ages eight to fourteen. This is a kid's- eye view of the very best on the Net pertaining to animals, history, heroes, science, sports, travel, entertainment, and friendship. If you're looking for the best cyberplaces your own kids can enjoy, this book will lead them to where the other great kids are.

5.0 out of 5 stars A VERY good book for cybernauts of 18 and under!!!!!!!!!!!!!, May 15, 1997

This review is from: NetKids (Paperback)

I was one of the 45 kids who reviewed a sight in this book. Why should you trust this guide? You can really trust this book, honest. The reviews in this guide were written by kids, for kids. They might not always share your interests, and you may not always agree with them, but you know their telling you the truth. Their not teachers trying to talk you into a subject, or parents , trying to get you to eat your cyber spinach. Your getting the straight story from real kids. It answers FAQs for parents and adults, nifty search engines, hundreds of far- out sights, great advice, kid's favorite's, trivias, jokes, poems, magic tricks, safety nets (like net nanny, cyber sitter & tattle tale just to name a few), kid's credits, a very, very complicated index (NOT! Simple as can be!!!), etc. ALL FOR KIDS!!! You will never be cyber bored again with KIDS RULE THE NET: Net Guide for Kids!!!

I am one of the 45 NetKids featured in this book and I had a lot of fun writing for it. This book shows the basics of browsers, plugins, search engines, and other features on the Internet and the World Wide Web, all from a kid's point of view. It has reviews for all sorts of fun sites on topics ranging from The X-Files to sharks to intense rollerblading. It's perfect for the novices, or even those more experienced surfers looking for extra cool sites they haven't seen yet. --Katie Tandler

This review is from: NetKids (Paperback)

This is a super, duper, great, awesome, cool, nice, friendly, non- complicated, correct, magnificent, truly good, TRUTHFUL BOOK. Notice the caplocks. Why is it cap locked? Because it's true! Why is it true? Why should you trust me? Well, for one thing, it's all kids like you! (Maybe not like you, but like you are at heart) I should know, as a ten year old. I love the book! I would be totally net- clueless without it!
