Grades 4-6
Reviewed by the Evaluation Committee of the Board of Education for the City of North York

Volume 15 Number 2
1987 March


A cutesy approach to learning library skills: "You'll be so turned on." The use of a computer catalogue and online searching for information makes the set timely, but the use of a cartoon character narrator and other hokey effects are counter productive. They may even make the library seem positively intimidating. There has to be a better way. Not recommended.
