What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Nickelodeon's "green" site imparts positive messages and has no inappropriate content. There's not much in the way of text so early readers should be fine; however, the site does use big terms like "C02" and "sustainable." Some sections require a nickname and password to login, but kids are told not to use their real names or any personal information, and the site states it takes every precaution to keep kids safe online. There are links to Nick's other, more commercial sites and its online community, Nicktropolis. A message board links to Nick's safe main message board area, which includes links other message areas. Except for a "sponsored by Wal-Mart" image (that links to the store's site), the only other ads (kid-targeted) are on the message boards. The current game stars popular cartoon characters Sponge Bob and Patrick (more games will be added at the end of 2008).
