Reviews
PreSchool-Grade 5?With more than 70 projects, this book is filled with creative activities and exercises geared toward helping young people build their computer skills. Children start with simple operations in making patterns and using colors and progress to projects for creating personalized stationery, original greeting cards, bookmarks, and wrapping paper. Young graphic designers can fashion original birth certificates, neighborhood maps, and family trees. Instructions for planning a party and making decorations, place mats and party favors are provided. Chapters focusing on space, dinosaurs, rain forests, and ancient Egypt are also included. While some of the activities are very basic and require limited computer skills, others will require considerable supervision and assistance from older students or adults because much of the text, including the glossary of computer terminology and the step-by-step instructions, are beyond the reading level of most primary-grade children. Prerequisites for the use of Mousetracks include a word processing program, a basic drawing program, a color monitor, and a color printer. A kids' CD-ROM encyclopedia or access to an online reference service is also recommended. The computer-generated illustrations are attractive, colorful, and add considerably to the visual appeal of the book design. With the appropriate equipment and guidance, young computer lovers should have much fun following these inventive suggestions.?Jerry D. Flack, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs
