REVIEW:
Kids will love this online world of books created just for them! Each of the four main areas of the site: Activity Lab, Game Station, Express Yourself, and Book Zone, offer fun activities that kids of all ages will enjoy. Fun activities include printing and illustrating stories, making a seasonal collage and choosing a picture to color in the interactive coloring book. Children will also enjoy such entertaining and educational games and activities as writing stories with other kids, creating poems in the Poetry Splatter and making their own word puzzles. For help in choosing the right books for them, kids can browse books to find summaries, book covers, and kids' ratings and reviews as well as read all about their favorite authors and find out how to send them fan mail. Registration is available for using all the features of the site but it is free to anyone.
