What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this site is a good first start for young kids looking for a social network site: Joining is free, kids choose a screen name to protect their identity, chatting is done by choosing pre-written comments, and all content added to the site is moderated. And if they continue to carefully choose their sponsors (Puffin Books and World Wildlife Fund were the first two), this site will be a star at managing commercialism wisely. Kids can learn a bunch here by browsing the collection of educational links.
Educational value:
Links to other educational sites are provided with descriptions of what kids can find. Topics can include: gardening, wildlife, travel, science, sports.
Violence:
One game introduces a poacher with a gun; the game does not involve shooting, but if the poacher gets the wildlife a gunshot is heard.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
Puffin Books and the World Wildlife Fund are sponsors of this site and their links can be found throughout. Products are available at the Puffin Books link. Kids collect Webbles (WebbliWorld currency, but they're not used to buy stuff). No pop-ups or banner ads here.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.

Perfect for all ages... EVEN ADULTS!
I love this website. People should get on it more often, but then that would take away its rarity. This is a great website and I think that there are no problems, because I once typed s swear word, and at the bottom of the screen it said "Hey, please dont talk like that!" If you have a Mini Compac I suggest the screen zoom should be 75% because I couldn't access the menu.
