Ask Jeeves for Kids
"Like its grownup counterpart, Ask Jeeves for Kids prides itself on answering natural language questions. No need to learn boolean or complicated search engine syntax here, simply ask Jeeves a question such as ""Where is Peru?"" But don’t expect an answer quite yet. Next you’ll need to choose from a list of questions that Jeeves knows the answers to. For example ""Where can I find a map of Peru?"" or ""Where can I find the history of the country Peru?"" If the resulting questions are not exactly what you wanted, you can modify them by selecting different fill-in-the-blank phrases from the drop-down boxes."

AOL Netfind Kids Only
"Built by America Online, the only frustrating part of this kids-only search engine is that some of its featured hot sites are only available to AOL members. But the rest of us will still find plenty to like about this wonderful search tool. For example, a search on the word "robot", brings links to 116 different sites. Be sure to read Casey’s NetFind Tips, a weekly column on how to improve your search results. "
