As part of the Dummies Guide to Family Computing series, this book is short on technobabble and long on chatty helpfulness. Author Barbara Moran assumes that you know how to use a computer and an Internet connection and focuses on finding you great places to go. Moran offers brief but valuable discussions on basic Internet safety and on the top Internet filtering programs, which are worth reading before you get the idea that software can supervise your kids for you. The real value, though, is in the site listings for every topic of interest to parents or kids. Six main parts of the directory cover sports, toys, clubs, and games; reference materials for students; news, weather, and current events; family life; entertainment and travel; and science and nature. The seventh part lists the top 10 sites for parents and the top 10 for kids. Symbols give you basic information on each site at a glance, telling you what age groups the site is appropriate for, whether there's an ask-the-expert opportunity there, if the site is graphics-intensive or requires special plug-ins to use, or if parental supervision is advised. Moran also marks the sites that are great homework resources, that require a fee, or that offer an abundance of links to other useful sites. An enclosed CD-ROM offers instant links to all the sites reviewed.

5 out of 5 stars Internet Directory for Kids & Parents.......2001-12-22

Very nice book. I have two copies. Selling one. The book lists what appears to be thousands of family-oriented website addresses with descriptions. Everything for fun and games, to schoolwork, science, history, etc. The book comes with a CD that is still sealed in its original jacket.

Very informative.

5 out of 5 stars WHO IS KATHY IVENS.......1998-09-11

I like this book very much but I am confused about who wrote this book. On the book, there is only one author, but you list two authors. I am not sure what to tell friends who want to find this book. There is no mention of anyone named Kathy Ivens in the whole book. Did you guys goof?

Parents hear all the time about what a great resource the Internet is, but it's often tough to know where to start. Searching for information to help with homework often yields more garbage than useful material, and there's always the risk of stumbling across something offensive while online. 300 Incredible Things for Kids on the Internet provides 300 starting points for parents and kids who want to explore the Internet together, safely and constructively.

Essentially, this is a collection of Web addresses, with little commentary, that you can visit with your browser. The sites cover a considerable range of topics from general-reference sites (including dictionaries, encyclopedias, and almanacs) to specialized sites (literature, space exploration, science projects, dinosaurs, pets, history--you name it). Everything's screened for kid-suitability, though the content of the various sites appeals to different age groups (say, from preschool through junior high).

Plus, Leebow includes a selection of parental-interest sites. These deal with parenting advice, education issues, health, and safety. These sites also address Internet issues, including objectionable content and--for those parents who need to catch up to their kids' skill level--the basics of Web surfing. --David Wall

Children are our most precious commodity. The book 300 Incredible Things for Kids on the Internet is filled with great resources from the internet which is safe and constructive information.

These resources are virtually a collection of web addresses that you can visit with your web browser.

I hadn't really expected it to be just a list of internet addresses but even so I was quite pleasantly suprised. Even my 13 year old computer whiz kid son was fairly impressed - not that he would admit to it! nd it's not just for kids either - I found a few sites that I was interested in - mind you, I'm a big kid at heart!

5 out of 5 stars This is a great book for kids of all ages!.......1999-02-08

    This book is an excellent resource for parents, teachers, and children who are new to the world of the web and even for those who are not. It is precise and straightforward. Children as well as adults will find it useful. When a fellow teacher let me borrow her copy (for a short time only) she allowed me a peek into the wonderful, safe, opportunities available for children on the web. There are homework sites, game sites, craft sites, and many, many others. It is a resource for all ages.

      5 out of 5 stars Families Will Enjoy Many Hours of Fun and Adventure!.......2002-01-09

      The 2002 Net-mom's Internet Kids & Family Yellow Pages directory offers kids and their entire families a number of refreshing, entertaining, and informative Websites. After a brief introduction readers are treated to Net-mom's top hotlists, top Websites, and safety tips for surfing the Internet. Then the real fun begins!

      This 587-page yellow page directory covers hundreds of topics of interest to kids and their families. Websites offer information about animals, art, buried treasures, coin collecting and money, computers, food, foreign countries, American history, insects, interesting facts, the Internet, music, scouting, ships and shipwrecks, space missions, sports history, toys, transportation, weather, world leaders, and much much more. I took the time to visit some of the Websites listed in the book. Here are several that caught my interest:

      Students will be in for a real gooey education at Silly Putty University. Here they will learn about the history, composition, and many uses of this still-popular toy - the toy with only one moving part. Students will also learn about the many varieties of Silly Putty currently available - the original pink, the 50th year anniversary metallic gold, glow-in-the-dark colors, temperature sensitive color changing colors, and an assortment of bright colors. When ready, students can elect to take the final exam in order to receive their Silly Putty degree!

      After viewing the Silly Putty Website I moved on to Coin World , to look up some information about my favorite coin - the 1943 steel pennies. During the second World War copper was needed for the war effort so zinc-covered steel pennies were struck. However, some rare 1943 copper pennies and even rarer 1944 steel pennies were made. At least one 1943 silver-bronze penny was made! I performed some additional online research and ended up placing bids at eBay for some steel pennies - and I won!

      As with any child-age educational material, parents should become seriously and creatively involved with the upbringing of their children. They should take the lead to protect their children at all times while they surf online. To her credit, the author advises parents to review certain Websites that contain sensitive material. Topics such as religion, politics, child development, environmentalism, and the creation-evolution debate sometimes touch upon controversial issues and require responsible parental involvement.

      The author provides brief and concise summary descriptions of each site mentioned in the book and creatively relates topics of interest to encourage readers to dig deeper in their online researching. As I've found out for myself, visiting Websites like the ones listed in this book can be a good educational experience, as well as a bunch of fun for the whole family. Parents can sit down with theirs kids and have many hours of fun and adventure. This book is ideal for babysitting, daycare, home-school, and public school use!

      4 out of 5 stars For Good Family Fun..........2001-06-11

      ...purchase this book. I was looking for web sites to enjoy with my nieces and younger cousins and decided to purchase a book which could "direct me" in the right places. This book is a wonderful addition to have if you have younger children and younger visitors and need a way to "keep them occupied"! Buy this book. It is very well put together! It is also worth every cent. The only thing it doesnt have that I would give it 5 stars is a CD ROM directory for the electronic version...otherwise go for it if you dont mind typing in the sites yourself!

      5 out of 5 stars A Fabulous Reference for Teachers, Parents, and Kids.......2001-01-15

      The Internet Yellow Pages is a "must have" book for students, adults, schools, teachers, and public libraries. Parents, teachers, and libraries should have access to this fabulous resource. After all, most homes and offices have at least one telephone directory. Let your fingers do the walking with this fabulous Internet directory which includes over 800 pages of carefully alphabetized, categorized, and graphically appealing subjects that can be used for research and information gathering. Does your child or someone you know need to write a report? Possibly a state, gold rush, science, animal, or other type of school report? Look no further. Just get out the Internet Yellow Pages, type in the URL and you will be instantly connected to quality web sites without wasting valuable time using various search engines.Each site is full of great information that has been carefully reviewed as "kid safe" by the author, Jean Armour Polly and her staff.

      In addition to the excellent educational locations there are also many sites that are fun to visit, such as, jokes and riddles, toys, sports, games and fun, rainbows, boating and sailing, to name a few.

      The final section of the book is dedicated to parenting and families. This section includes subjects such as entertainment, movie, video reviews, education, baby-sitting, health and safety. All the information is carefully referenced in the final index and the bonus CD-ROM includes tutorials, for safe and fun surfing on the net. This is a wonderful book and a very good investment. It is a reference guide each home, school, or library should have at their fingertips.

      5 out of 5 stars A Great Place to Go for International Day.......2000-02-15

      Our Girl Scout/Brownie International Day was a smashing success thanks to this book. Our troops were able to find information, recipes, songs and dances quickly and easily. We kept it at the Headquarters for a few months and everyone turned to it to find out about every country from Haida Nation to Iceland. The girls loved the website activities and the leaders loved the ease with which they could retrieve information. I also used her editorial blurbs to entertain the crowds between performances.

      Kids are irresistibly drawn to the Internet, and of course parents want to make their children's time online both safe and productive. This worthwhile guide scores on both counts, providing essential information on general Web navigation and usage, excellent safety pointers, and hundreds of URLs for many types of youth-oriented craft sites. Since it's organized by category, users can easily pinpoint a particular interest, from various paper crafts to polymer clay, rubber stamping to doll and teddy bear making, even magic and juggling. All the sites offer free downloads (generally project instructions and/or coloring pages); those that also sell craft products are marked with a shopping cart symbol. TV shows are perhaps inescapable when it comes to kids, but the authors give TV a refreshingly minimal presence, listing only those TV-related sites that offer coloring pages or craft activities. Parents will discover plenty of Web sites of interest to creative grownups, too. --Amy Handy

      Book Description

      This valuable, timesaving guide directs stitchers of all kinds to web sites that offer free patterns, tutorials, techniques, software, e-mail, articles, and advice galore on cross-stitching, crewel and ribbon embroidery, knitting and crocheting, spinning, weaving, and rug making, lacemaking, dollmaking, and beading.

      The sites are terrific and well researched, but what I really liked best was all the information about how to make surfing the internet safe for my kids.

      5 out of 5 stars FABULOUS! Great tips, great sites, great fun!.......1999-11-27

      Heim and Hansen have done it again! I bought Free Stuff for Quilters for my wife, and she loves it. We bought Free Stuff for Crafty Kids for our children, and we all love it. The beginning of the book is solid Internet information, the stuff everyone surfing should know. The meat of the book is a large assortment of "crafty" sites for everyone, young and old, of all skill levels. Sure we could find similar sites on our own. But why bother? Heim and Hansen did all the work and leave us with all the fun. I'm making kites with my son. My wife and daughter are polishing their drawing skills and learning about rubber stamping. I highly recommends this book!
