My daughter received her first Webkinz stuffed animal (the Persian cat, if you're curious) at just two months' old. Apparently, my sister thought I might like to play on Webkinz World while my infant drooled all over the new kitten. I have to admit that as much as I enjoy playing games online, Webkinz World is just a bit too young for me.  I do, however, have 4 nieces ranging in age from 4 to 11 who think it's just about the best thing on the Internet.

If you have young kids, you probably already have a Webkinz stuffed animal or two in your house. If not, your kids may be asking for one or talking about their friends' Webkinz. Before you sign them up, take a peek at the Family Computing Review of Webkinz World.
