I had been having trouble getting my daughter interested in much about computers beyond a few games. I think I just found part of the solution. IDG Books Worldwide just released the latest book in their best selling 3D Visual Series and I could not believe I had never seen or heard about these books before.

This latest book is a new Internet Yellow Pages type book but it is in color. Most of you know how I feel about "Yellow Pages" type Internet books (obsolete before they are printed). What impressed me about this book was the style. The colors are bright and the images are clear. The animated character images jump out and grab your attention and the actual content is actually somewhat useful. My daughter's was impressed with the book and interested in looking through it and trying out some of the sites which were shown in it.

It turns out that there are more than a dozen books in this series already, each with the same kind of style and approach. This series of books looks like it could be a good way to get kids interested in the topics which are covered by them. These topics include The Internet and World Wide Web, Computers in general, Windows 95 and a lot of applications like Excel, Word and Lotus 123. They provide a much better approach than dry black on white (or yellow) text and should be a useful teaching tool
