Synopsis
Computers are an integral part of our modern world. Children are being exposed to them at an increasingly young age, so a fundamental understanding of technology has become essential. In this introduction to the world of computers, readers take a look inside a computer and become familiar with hardware, software, and all of the parts that make them work. The simple text explains terminology in a way that is easy to grasp, while full-color photographs and fast facts add interest to this first look at computers.

Reviews
Gr 1-3-In this series, each book begins with a list of "Words to Know," defining the vocabulary before it is encountered within the text. A full-page photo introduces a concept like microprocessors, sequencing, or data processing, and then the facing page briefly explains the concept. Individuals in the photos are a mix of genders and racial backgrounds, often doing an everyday activity that relates to the concept being discussed. Comparing networks to spiderwebs or data storage to file cabinets makes the information more approachable. At the end of each book, a suggested activity applies what has been learned, such as conducting a hunt to find identifiable computers around the house. Text boxes offer additional "Fast Facts." The Algorithms title makes especially good comparisons to activities students will understand. VERDICT With its age-appropriate introduction to terms and ideas, this is a good first purchase or addition to your computer science section.α(c) Copyright 2011.
