Product Description
Cyberspace has opened up for kids in a big way over the past few years, and there are now tons of sites online designed just for them. Through online services such as Compuserve, America OnLine, Prodigy, and the Microsoft Network, as well as the Internet, kids can learn about people from other cultures, chat with an interesting scientist, writer, or rock star, share interests with other kids around the world, get help with their homework, play games, and access information on just about anything under the sun. Online Kids is the best place for kids to find exactly what they′re looking for in the maze of online services and the Internet. It′s also a great resource for parents and teachers who want to help kids get the most out of their online time.

  • Provides a gold mine of practical information on getting online, navigating the Internet, choosing an online service, getting free software, and much more
  • Features reviews of hundreds of sites throughout cyberspace, rated for both coolness and usefulness
  • Includes dozens of fun and educational online activities

PRESTON GRALLA (Cambridge, Massachusetts) is a journalist and author who writes for such magazines as Family PC and Computer Life. He is also the author of the PC Computing Guide to Shareware.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very useful book!, 24 Dec 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Online Kids: Young Surfer's Guide to Cyberspace (Paperback)
I've always had trouble finding the right place to go to on the net. When I got this book, I tried out all the fun places to go to (well, not all) and then suddenly I made a lot of favourite web sites. Although the book didn't cover all the best places, the sites Gralla recommended had a lot of links to other sites. So far, the only problem was that some of the sites that looked interesting was available only on America Online or Prodigy, which was why i rated this book a 9.
