Bad Typography Website

The typography at the kid's EPA website ( http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/kids/) needs some work. The typeface is cute and kid-like, but hard to read, especially for a kid. I think it would be a lot more kid friendly if the typesize for each link was bigger, and if the font was more of a classic style, and, therefore, easier to read. Also, the icons should be larger and in different colors. This would make it easier for a child to navigate through the page. Also, the orange streak behind the games and links section gives me a headache because it makes your eyes strain to read the words. Any kid who goes to this website is going to end up hating the environment. Is the EPA ever going to get anything right?
