KidsClick: WebSearch for Kids by Librarians

When looking for a place to help your children find information they need for reports and projects, try KidsClick. This is a Web search site developed by librarians, who have left their stamp of approval on the sites linked to from KidsClick. The site features 600+ subjects that can be searched by topic, a letter of the alphabet, keyword, and even Dewey Decimal Classification. Every entry gives you and your kids not only a brief description of the site, but also whether it includes illustrations, and what the reading level of the site is. For example, if your kids are researching the topic Bears, KidsClick lets you know that Polar Bears is appropriate for reading levels 0-2 and that Nature: Great White Bear is for reading levels 7+. KidsClick is definitely a site to add to the family Favorites or Bookmarks in your web browser.
