With the look and feel of a cute YouTube introductory video for youngsters, this series introduces readers to the pains and perils of being online. Gaming is more than just playing on an unconnected console as most video games can be played over the internet, so this book shares how young readers should stay safe while playing online. Assessing articles and news for bias and accuracy is discussed in Information, which includes mention of how social media can feed misinformation. Social Media itself mentions this as well, while also discussing personal safety. Keeping personal information safe is repeated in every book, an important fact that even adults need to be reminded of often. Shopping examines how many fall victim to scams. Many of the featured photos show diverse children and their grown-ups interacting with electronics, modeling good screentime basics. While the writing is simple, it’s grade-level appropriate and non-threatening. VERDICT A useful addition to classroom libraries.
