The What Is Digital Citizenship? series is aimed at readers who have grown up using the Internet but may not fully understand what they intuitively do online. These books help kids learn the fundamentals of surfing the Internet and participating online while helping them form good habits for keeping safe while they surf. The clean, handsome format features four short chapters with brief sentences on white pages and "Did You Know?" sidebars. The illustrations include plentiful screen shots along with photographs of kids from many races and ethnic groups. Digital Safety Smarts helps kids understand that bullying online has "the same effects on the victims" as in-person bullying and offers advice on what to do if they become aware of cyberbullying. This solid series will be useful for teachers who want to help their students become savvier digital natives.
