Motherboard Books offers a variety of computer science programs.   We received the e-book, Let's Make a Web Page to review, and had a lot of fun with it.

Let’s Make a Web Page is written for children aged 8-12.  My daughter is 7 and loved it!  She needed my help, but had a wonderful time creating her own web page.  I have no doubt kids older than 10 or 11 could do this without much outside assistance.

This e-book is 60 pages in length and full of instruction.  Phyllis Wheeler, a veteran homeschool mom,  writes in a way that kids (and parents who know little about computers) can understand.  Children use a free trial of web page software and drag and drop their way to their very own web page.  And they don’t make a simple web page, they are able to include animations, sounds and video!  My daughter was shaking with excitement!  She could not believe what she was doing.  It was fun. 

I enjoyed the style in which the lessons were presented; very casual and cheerful.  I am looking forward to learning more about the other programs offered by Motherboard Books.  Especially Computer Science Pure and Simple - that one sounds great.
