I felt as though understanding computer science was out of my grasp before I picked up this book. I studied it front to back and found it to really force me to stretch my mind. As a person who has no experience in computer science, but an appreciation for it, I found that there is so much respect to be had for the industry and the people involved.

Computers, smart phones, and tablets all seemed to work on magic and now I understand better how that magic actually works. This book would be a great text for teaching children in any computer class from middle school grades and up, even big kids like me (30 at the time of writing this).

Nice colourful source of information

This is an excellent source of information for any child to dip into it read on depth as the mood takes. It will be a useful reference in the future and curiosity drives the child forwards

I think this is an excellent intro book for kids and adults alike. I am familiar with the subject and I found that I liked the way some of the concepts were explained. It was the right balance between being too simplified to explain anything and being overly detailed that would put some people off. The other thing is that it also covers the impact of computers on our day-to-day life which might be as important as the actual computer science if not more. It also had cute little snippets of code in different languages which is a nice touch and the illustrations were great.

I could have used this 20 years ago! Perfect for parents who need a general overview of basic concepts within the digital world, including computers, networks, programming, Internet, and IOT, though their kids will likely know most of this stuff already.

A very colorful and sometimes informative illustrated book that is organized neatly covering everything from the most basic (What is a Computer?) to some slightly advanced topics like what distinguishes some of the more common programming languages and how digital product development works. There is even a chapter on digital health (Beware the Deeeeeep W-e-e-e-e-b) and some stuff on the politics of Net Neutrality. So a decent introduction to a lot of ideas and subjects that would typically require a whole shelf of books to cover.

Very helpful guide! The sections of the book flow smoothly and that is helpful for anyone regardless of what knowledge you have on computer science. As a Computer Science major, I do find it to be an easy book to follow. It can be helpful to refresh your memory and learn things that may not have been taught. By the book being geared more towards kids the pages are vibrant and appealing even to an adult like myself.

When I reading Tec News every day, I often come across technical terms that I don't understand.
This book provides easy explanations of all such computing terms with illustrations.

As we are forced to live so much surrounded by computers, I thought we should be careful not to spend most of our lives just looking at a computer screen.

Although this book has "Kids" in the title, the content is so advanced that it can be useful even for adults.

I'm 32 and am mid engineer/computer science degree. I know some computer programming stuff. This book is an excellent book for children and adults. I'd say it's completely suitable for all ages. The pictures and metaphors are good and the depth is depth-y. 10/10
