If you and your family want to get onto the World Wide Web, but find the whole process a bit intimidating, this is the book for you. Written for "kids" from ages 8 to 80, the World Wide Web for Kidz takes a slow, gentle approach to introducing you to the Internet and the World Wide Web. Through step-by-step instructions, you'll learn what the Web is, what you need to get started using it, how to navigate it, how to download games and software, and more. The book's large type, clear layout, and abundance of bright and amusing graphics deliver the information you need in appealing, easy-to-swallow doses. A section on Web safety goes over some commonsense guidelines to make sure your Web experiences are danger-free. The book also includes a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows 95 and an appendix describing more than 50 sites on a wide range of topics. This is a fine guide for total beginners, but even slightly experienced surfers may find it rudimentary.
