Turtles of the Sea
Grab your scuba gear and dive deep to Turtle Trax at www.turtles.org. You'll find tons of cool images of these underwater marvels. Younger kids can visit Kidz Korner for stories about individual turtles, such as Polzbarney, Huffy and Adelita. There are sections about families of turtles and their habitats as well as about illnesses that turtles get. There's even a comic strip called Turtle Trax Toon. This is a one-stop place on the Web to find out all you've ever wanted to know about sea turtles.

Another Review -- does it have a voice?: "Extraordinary Dogs"

This Site Makes Good Cents
Ever wonder what your parents are doing when they send that tube flying at the bank drive-thru? There's more to banking than just getting money. There's a lot to learn about the value of a dollar...and it's very interesting! One stop at www.kidsbank.com shows you the fun way to learn about money matters. Why not start your withdrawal (of knowledge) by meeting the funny money characters, like Dollar Bill, Interest Ray and Checks the dog. They'll fill you in on the history of money and the ins and outs of savings, credit and interest. Then pop into the game room for a wealth of quizzes to test your money know-how. Mr. Money is always around to answer your questions. And check out the vault full of links to other cool and useful sites for kids. This site is full of rich info to get you through life-you can bank on it!
