%T   "The Internet Kids Yellow Pages/Golden Directory"
 
A great many of the child or educationally oriented books on the Internet have
lists of resources, but this compendium is a very welcome addition.  As with
others in the "yellow pages" ("Golden Directory" outside of the US) series, the
collection is a massive one, even though it couldn't be exhaustive.  For kids,
with incessant demands for information on every topic under the sun, massive is
what you want.  (It even has a listing for Alta Vista, Digital's "mother of
all" search engines.)
 
The sites are well chosen.  There is a wide range of both topics and levels. 
(A helpful feature for a future edition might be the inclusion of indicators
for grade and age suitability.)  Occasionally the descriptions contain
erroneous or misleading "facts": this is possibly due to taking the claims
listed in those sites at face value without checking.
