KidSource OnLine Book Review

I found this book useful for the clean categorization and short descriptions of educational websites that are relevant to my children's subjects at school such as math, language arts, music, social studies, science, and art. Well written and straightforward, this is a good reference book. Others may find the basic-level discussions of the internet educational, although the Mosaic browser on the enclosed disk has been replaced by much more state-of-the-art browsers since the book's publication.
