A Beginner’s Guide to On-line Security by Wendi Finn – Our Review
This book is a guide to Internet safety for kids and adults. It covers a variety of topics from emails to Facebook to video chats.
It explains a topic and then has a “Do It Yourself” section that kids fill out and parents and teachers can use to talk about it with kids.
When I got the review request for this book, my to be reviewed list was actually already filled (my parents limit the number of books I can accept so I don’t have too much to do).
I was about to email that I couldn’t review this book but my mom took one look at the title and said “Oh, you are so reviewing that book.” 
My parents are very big about online security and they talk to me about it a lot. When I went through this workbook, I learned even more. I never heard of “phishing” before.
In fact one of my friend’s mom was at our house and she saw the workbook sitting on the table. She picked it up and paged through it. I told her I was reviewing it and that it is a workbook for kids. She told me there was stuff in it that she didn’t know about!
Ms. Finn is the perfect expert to write this book because she works in the technology security field and she has kids.
There isn’t an age listed for this book but I think it is 10+ (when most kids really start using the Internet). I like the illustrations in the workbook. I think it makes it more kid-friendly.
This is a good workbook, and this could be very useful, so I think parents/teachers should read this to their kids/students. I give it 5 out of 5 bookworms!
