Children need exposure and practice with how to interact as a citizen of this digital world. The Piano and Laylee book series introduce students to strategies for how to deal with important topics at an early age. The illustrations are crisp, the analogies are simple yet well designed, the characters are fun, and the stories help ingrain good practices that will last a lifetime! Whether you're an educator, parent, or just a concerned family member who is looking for a cute gift to give that kid in your life who is into technology, definitely pick up any or all of the Piano and Laylee Adventure Series!

Students grow up with adults telling them to share, but sharing has its limits. In this book in the series, students learn that sharing usernames, passwords, and account information in general is not a good idea. Well balanced with positive strategies, this book is a must read for any student who is using technology.

So this is a really freaking fantastic series to introduce school computer policies and Internet responsibilities to elementary school kids. My 2nd and 3rd graders know this is a cheesy book, but it was totally effective.
