Kids at Random House

A great deal of care has been taken with this bright and breezy site aimed at children, parents and teachers. The colourful icons for favourite authors and characters, from Jacqueline Wilson to Elmer, each lead to a feature carefully tailored for the relevant age group. There's a homepage for each of 5 age ranges featuring 8 books to be published in the current month plus a feature. Links for children come with sensible advice about using the internet and there's a monthly newsletter linked to a draw for signed books.
