This book introduces its readers to the internet in small "bytes" using humor and simple, direct language. I am a non-techie who enjoyed it; and my early elementary-aged son loved it. I read some parts aloud to my husband (even less of a techie than I am) and we exchanged "aha's" with each other. All four of Art Wolinsky's books in the Internet Library series are winners.We are homeschoolers, and use these as our guide to computer science. Every other book we've tried on the subject assumed that you knew something about computers or computer jargon. It was very frustrating and even my son, who likes the computer, was becoming turned off to the subject. Then he found the Wolinsky books, and eagerly read them one after the other. Wolinsky assumes that you're reading his books because you want to learn about computers from the keyboard up. He gives clear examples, and even things to try on your own.The volumes are about 64 pages long, and easily digestible by young people who are good readers.
