Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Susan Borges

This excellent text, which is part of an excellent series called "Library Smarts," has arrived at the perfect time for our youngest readers. With the huge influx of digital texts and e-readers and digital media, it is extremely important for children to know how to use online resources safely. Specific topics are clearly stated in the table of contents and those topics include smart web surfing, guarding your information, and making friends safely. Each and every page of this nonfiction text gives a child some information about how to use the internet and then gives a warning to ask an adult or teacher to monitor what you do if you have any questions or concerns about your safety or your privacy online. For example, one page of text says that if you cannot always control what you see, so that if you see something strange, tell an adult right away. Another page says that you should choose a password that it hard to guess and then do not share your password with anyone except a parent or teacher. In this era of digital reading and shared information, this simple nonfiction text about how to stay safe online should be a must-read for all elementary school students. It contains a very important and cautionary message that cannot be repeated too often for our youngest readers and students. Public libraries and elementary school libraries will definitely want a copy of this important book in their collection. Additionally, this book will help support the common core standards in elementary schools across the country. Reviewer: Susan Borges

K-Gr 3—In this uneven set, there are no more than 11 sentences per page, which are placed opposite full-page photographs and graphics. Glossary words are highlighted in blue and defined in the back matter. For their usability and time liness, Research, Parts of a Book, and Online are the standouts. Research tells students that, "Research is about asking questions. What do you want to know?" This volume would be a great resource for a classroom unit. Parts of a Book introduces students to nonfiction book elements, from the table of contents to the index. Online covers Internet passwords, cyberbullying, and more. The rest of the titles can be repetitive and sometimes bland. The images, by and large, are clear and colorful and correspond to the texts. Educators should buy individual volumes as needed.
