This is an informative and interactive book for youth that are interested in computers and coding. My 8 year old and 4 year old were both very interested in the information contained in this book and I'm sure it would be beneficial for older children as well.
This book has pages devoted to concepts such as the parts of a computer, the internet, coding basics, and the history of computers. Each page is filled with information, while also having multiple flaps that readers can lift to expose even more information. The pages are bright and colorful and the pictures are fun, which helps keep the reader's attention.
This is a book that I would definitely buy (we borrowed a copy from the library) for my children because I can see if being a resource that we will revisit multiple times as the children become interested in different aspects of computers and programming.

Informative. Fun. Interactive.
Taking readers from basic computer vocabulary all the way to more in depth history of computers, this interactive lift-the-flap book is packed full of great information and fun illustrations that will get coders of all ages ready to jump to the computer to try for themselves.
At only 15 pages, this book has condensed lots of heavy information into small packages (or flaps) that are succinct and accessible to all ages.
The fun and colorful people and creatures that fill the pages have delightful expressions and gestures and take potentially hard topics into fun and easy reading and understanding.
Highly recommend for first graders on up, especially with the website as additional tool.

An amazingly detailed yet simple and fun book to help children learn what computers are, how they work, the science and maths that goes on behind the screens, and how to code for beginners.
This is not a subject I know much about but have always been curious of and as such I found this book amazingly interesting.
The book is a lift the flap book that links to different webpages with games and puzzles to complete to help with learning.

A beautifully colourful and informative non-fiction book informing the reader on how to code on computers. The simple illustrations engage the reader, with exciting and informative flaps, making understanding what can seem to be such a complex concept easier to comprehend.
The book offers sections where the reader can engage in activities or tasks to reinforce their learning around code and computers, with practical websites that children can explore themselves and apply their learning to.
This book is most likely aimed towards children that are 8+. I recommend that this book is accessible to all children, not just those that appear to be more interesting in ICT than others, as it is often complex concepts and adult attitudes around computers that influence children and give them the idea that they may not be able to understand some complexities around programming and ICT.

A very interesting tactile book about computers and coding. There are lots of little flaps to open and plenty of clear, interesting information for children or even adults who are not too familiar with technology or the history of the modern computer.
