I listened to the audiobook. I find the material very educational. It’s written in rhyme, fitting with the title. I think the narration is meant to call to mind a computer or a robot talking. Of course more advanced computers and more advanced robots speak more naturally, so I wonder if there is a better way to narrate the book. I’ll wait to see if the rhythm of the robotic narration becomes positively associated with my comprehension of algorithms.

I listened to the audiobook that provided by library through Libby apps. The title and also book's description is interesting for me, therefore I want to give it a go. However, as I listened to it, I got bored by the way the narrator's read the book. The information is simple and should be interesting. I think it is intentional to make the narrator read it with robotic way. However, it could be more exciting.

To be perfectly honest, I read this because my anxiety hates that my reading challenge is falling behind. But I also taught computer science 2 years ago, and my students would have loved this book. Maybe I'll read it to them, even though I teach a different subject now.

Elementary introduction to algorithms and beginning coding. Would not have broad appeal, but some kiddos will definitely like it.

The audio narration is terrible, otherwise a good intro for children about algorithms.

We listened to this audiobook and I couldn't get past the woman's robotic reading of it. It distracted from what the book was trying to teach. Luckily it was only 2 minutes long.
