Reviews

Gr 4-6-While each volume in this series focuses on a different area, similar message are found in all of them: think before you send, follow the rules, keep private information safe, don't be a bully, and don't be afraid to ask an adult for help. Beyond these basics, important topics covered include monitoring one's online presence; the role of real money in virtual games; the risk of using social networking apps on a cell phone; and the key to a solid username and password. Each title also includes a reminder to unplug and enjoy real life. Bold charts and graphics and large color photos and images add a magazinelike twist to the textbook format. "In the News" text boxes relate anecdotes and facts while "Talk About It" boxes offer up scenarios to prompt critical thinking and excellent home or school conversations. Vocabulary words are in bold and defined at the bottoms of the pages on which they appear as well as in glossaries with pronunciation guides. Must-have titles for reports and self-education alike. α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
