About this title

Synopsis:

Mom's Choice Gold Award Winner

"...the more conceptual discussion of algorithms is well done, and thestory is satisfying and emotionally resonant..." -- Kirkus Reviews

My name is Merlin Raj. I have a teeny tiny weakness for socks which can make life as a service dog difficult.Usually, I only have to worry about helping my boy, Matthew, walk at school. But when my human Mom has to go away for winter break, getting ready for the holiday becomes a mess. I might be a super-smart golden retriever who wears glasses, but could I help my best friend with more than a disability?

Gulp.
Will a class on algorithms get me barking up the right Christmas tree?

 

Appealing to readers of all ages, Merlin Raj, The Santa Algorithm is the first installment in this ILLUSTRATED chapter-book series. From artists to astronauts, the jobs of the future will deal with computers. But do kids want to read a coding book? Not as much as dog stories.

Priya blends technology with animal stories to stimulate a desire to read.Each book in the series introduces a new programming skill. If you or your child like delightful dog tales that explores universally positive themes, including empathy, kindness, dedication, and the importance of being true to one's self, then you'll love D. G. Priya's tail-wagging adventure.
