REVIEW: This site is a basic forum for children to publish their writings thereby strengthening their creativity. It has a limited scope but handles its subject very well, perhaps because it is so focused. It is a very small site, managed by one person, but with a lot of attention and heart. The site makes it very easy to submit works, there is even a form where children just fill in the blanks. It must be a thrill for children to see their work on the internet! There is a community supported feel to the page with listings of schools that publish their writing as well. Anyone with creative children should check out this page.
