The Dancer
"As animated dancing pages go, The Dancer is unique. Difference number one: before you can enjoy it, you will need Shockwave Flash (available free.) Difference number two: you can control the action with five buttons. I’ll leave you the joy of discovering what each button does. Difference number three: the music is not a poorly synthesized arrangement of a disco dance tune, but a hip techno rhythm (which you can turn off when the phone rings.) Difference number four: it’s good. (Click ""All our games"" to find The Dancer.)"

Reviewed April 2, 2001 by a parent from USA who is affiliated with the site. I made this Web site for girls who love the Babysitters Club books written by Ann M. Martin. Here the girls can find out tons of stuff about the books. Each member of the club has her own web page. Plus info about each book is listed. It is a safe place for girls to go on the Web.

Surfing the Net with Kids: Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse
"Walt Disney was born in Chicago on December 5, 1901. Mickey Mouse made his screen debut on November 18, 1928 in Steamboat Willie , a short black-and-white animated musical. So began a partnership that charmed generations. If Disney were alive today (he died just weeks after his sixty-fifth birthday), he’d be one hundred years old next month. Happy Birthday, Mr. Disney!"

Surfing the Net with Kids: LEGO Bricks
"I’ve heard it said that "LEGO is not a toy. It’s a way of life." I know, I live with a LEGO maniac. What this really means is that I can not walk barefoot in my son’s room at night. Ouch, those little plastic pieces in the arch of my foot! If you’re wearing shoes, you can start your LEGO tour with these fun Internet sites."

Surfing the Net with Kids: Juggling
"Juggling entered our house last year, when my son got a set of three balls as a present. This year he added a set of juggling sticks to his collection. I’ve learned that the world’s best jugglers can keep a pattern going with as many as ten balls at once and that Ancient Egyptian tomb paintings show people juggling. Juggling develops hand-eye coordination and keeps the kids amused for hours. Give it a try!"

Surfing the Net with Kids: Optical Illusions
"Seeing is believing. ""A picture is worth a thousand words."" But sometimes our eyes deceive us, and what we see is only what our brain expects to see. Optical illusions are amusing, but they also teach us a lot about how our brain works in conjunction with our eyes to create vision. Are you ready for some fun science?"

Surfing the Net with Kids: Daily Fun
"It used to be that only the newspaper was daily, but on the Internet there are lots of sites that publish every day. The following fun sites are all very different from each other. The first is a comic strip, the next is a history site, the third one is a word game, the fourth is a site-of-the-day, and the last is a joke page. These sites only have two things in common. They are all fun, and they all publish daily. So for your dose of daily fun, follow me."
