Another Baby Professor book with some cool pictures. There are about 200 books in this ebook series that are offered in the kindle store for either free or for .99¢. You can't really go wrong with the books offered for free. There is a variety of subjects covered and most of the books follow about the same format. You can take a peek inside the books by clicking "Look Inside" and this is pretty much what you get in each book.This particular book is ok. The format for this book is the same as most of the Baby Professor books in this series which have a picture with a paragraph and facts on one page. Then the next page is just a photo. It would be nice if they had another paragraph on that page too. I mean it's great they have a picture of an abacus and talk about it. But then the next page is just a picture of another abacus. It would be very simple to talk about how one is used by sliding the beads.Anyway, overall, I do like theses books for their wonderful pictures. It would be nice if the books went into more detail but they are very basic books that I hope will get my kids interested in finding more about each subject. It will be pretty neat for my kids to be able to see the progression of the computer and how a computer used to take up entire rooms!I plan on keeping these books on my iPad for down time for my kids when they get bored waiting different places like the doctors office or practice for a sibling. I sometimes watch a friends 3 year old daughter and she likes to look through the pictures on my phone. I plan on showing her these books to keep her entertained. I think she will love them.***** I received this ebook for free for my honest review. *****

Great Big World of Computers - History and Evolution. This book tells the history and the evolution of the computer. It's a great book with wonderful illustrations, photos and information. Another great book by Baby Professor and speedy publishing.My grandson is in 2nd grade, is an avid reader, he reads way above his school grade. He told me that vivid pictures allow him to use his imagine to transport him to another place and time. He would love to have this book in print to add to his extensive library, I may have to buy it for him and I am very willing to do so.***I am grateful to have received this product for a discounted rate in exchange for my personal, honest, unbiased and non-compensated review.Please if you found this review helpful in making your decisions, please press the “Yes” button below.
I want to teach kids about computers, not just programming but how computers have evolved. This baby professor series book just like others is very pictorial. I recommend this book to those who want to introduce their kids to the world of computers.. Overall the book is good but could have covered a lot more.. I read other baby professor series books and what I really like about them is the pictorial representation of thought. I received this product in exchange for my honest feedback.
The book doesn't offer any information. What the book says can be summarized in three sentences. The first computers were abacus, used to count. The first contemporary computers were the size of the room and consumed lots of energy. The first personal, programmable computers, as we know them today, exist only since 1980.That's all. Nothing else in the book. Nothing! Few pictures illustrating this "smart" publication aren't even labeled or described.How this "masterpiece" can educate a fifth grader is beyond me. Fifth grader is a youngster of ten or eleven. Most of them at that age are already reluctant to learn. The inborn curiosity and need to know, already gave way to the need to pretend, they don't care about learning. (If your kid still hungers learning, count your blessings). But they aren't stupid. They want to know, and they want you to tell them. You just have to be careful how you do it. Plus, in the era of the smartphones, they already know a lot about computers. They want to be hackers, they want to design their own computer games, they want to know all, preferably within next five minutes. They need to be told everything in the right order, right speed and right way. This book is a joke. The only reason I didn't give it a one star review is, that the book doesn't contain false information. Just none.Run away from this publication. It is a waste of your money and a waste of the willingness your fifth grader wishes to expend on this topic. Since you're building their future, you need to chose carefully what you give them to read. This title isn't it.
