Reviews

Grade 2-5-The 34 projects in this book range from the typical-invitations, stationary, and illustrated stories-to the extraordinary-masks, mazes, story chains, and rebuses. The activities vary in difficulty and can be completed with the standard programs that usually come on computers-word processing, graphics, and a Web browser. The clear, step-by-step instructions include helpful black-and-white illustrations. Each project ends with some suggested variations and "Things to Watch Out For." There is little overlap here with Carol Sabbeth's Kids' Computer Creations (Williamson, 1995), which focuses solely on arts and crafts. Teachers and librarians looking for new ways to integrate computers into the curriculum will find this book chock-full of ideas. Children and parents who are looking for new ways to use their computers creatively will enjoy it as well.
