Review:

"Kids InfoBits does an excellent job of preparing elementary-grade students to research other Gale databases and, by extension, databases in general. The multitude of tips available via Help offers great starting points for lesson planning. The selection of magazines and newspapers includes titles not otherwise accessible to many students. Libraries working with students in grades K-5 will want to consider a subscription to this database."
