Looking for an interesting way to introduce young children to the Internet? Then look no further than this charming story by Craig T. Feigh.
Little Bit, his older brother, Big Byte, and his little sister, Joy, set out for a day at the beach in Cyberville. Joining them are their dog, Click, and their cat, Browser.
There's a sandcastle-building contest today, so the siblings begin to build the best sandcastle they can. They are soon joined by their friends, Webster and Kay Board.
But danger looms on the beach, too, when two nefarious characters, Vi and Russ, urge Big Byte and Kay Board to "hang ten" and surf Web Beach. A bad outcome is narrowly avoided when a lifeguard warns that there are many Vi and Russ's out there just waiting to ruin your fun.
The author manages to introduce computers, the Internet, and Web surfing in a way that is fun and easy to understand for even the youngest of computer users. And with a hidden bone on each page adding to the fun, this is a great book for parents and children to read together.
