  • Folletts - Pathways to knowledge We liked the art work but the page loads slowly and sometimes times out on the school computers. The text in the balloons is small and there's probably too much for younger students.
  • Alfy - the flash is a bit too much but it is bright and inviting.
  • PBS Kids
  • Arthur - This site has interesting characters (art work) and simple but engaging animation.
  • Ben's Guide - we like the art on this one. It's very easy to understand where to go.
  • FBI for Kids - we liked the moving bones. The art is good too.
