Are there any good children's news websites?

[Ilsa]

I am looking for online news for my eight year old to read. Nothing horribly serious, just general news stuff, but written with kids in mind. Maybe extra pages of cartoons, science news, health news, word games.

Maybe I should do my own.

Maybe it is online?

There is also Newsweek for kids and Time for kids.

All the hosts are children, and the only people who watch it are children.
