About the Site
 This site is a browsable and searchable directory of Internet sites for kids. It contains games, music, movies, jokes, sports related information, homework help and more.


Site Review
 Yahooligans! is a very busy site, with many options for kids to choose from. Many of the links lead the viewer to gaming websites. Games can be fun to play, however, can also prove to be very distracting if wanting to find actual information. The site does not support natural language searches, therefore, it has not taken considered its audience.
The "Parent" link is very helpful, as it provides adults with valuable information regarding protecting the privacy of children and what sites your kids should avoid.
Overall, I would not recommend this site to children, as I believe that other sites, such as the International Chiuldren's Digital Library.
