“There are some terrific products available to challenge young minds. From books and CD ROM sets to brainy games and fish you can cuddle, kids love a challenge and these gifts really make them think,” says Gayle Olson, About's Science/Nature for Kids Guide.

The Olson's have spent the past two months putting together the online handbook. “As parents of six, we've had a lot of experience searching for quality gifts for children. We decided to put that experience to work by creating the most comprehensive site for families to find fun and educational products in the shortest amount of time.”

The handbook offers Web users reviews on 83 (and counting) products as well as related Internet resources, comparison shopping and availability, including polls where they can track popularity or vote for their favorites.
