What I love about it is that it <b>introduces programming without requiring a computer </b>at all. --GeekMom.com</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Liukas' whimsical multimedia illustrations nicely balance entertaining storytelling with informative images. The entire package is <b>incredibly accessible, interesting, and kid-friendly, </b> and, since it focuses primarily on the fundamentals of what makes a computer rather than coding, it fills a much-needed niche in the world of computer-science books for children. --<i>Booklist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Linda Liukas</b>, <b> </b>author of <i>Hello Ruby</i>, is a programmer, storyteller, and illustrator from Helsinki, Finland.
