review:
'Ada and the Number-Crunching Machine' with words by Zoe Tucker and art by Rachel Katstaller is a picture book about a young girl who liked inventing things.
The book shows us Ada Lovelace as a young girl, who liked things normal children like, plus numbers and solving problems. Since she was female in a time when girls weren't allowed to go to school, she had to find education another way. One of Ada's friends had an idea for a new machine and Ada thought of a way to program it. It was considered the first computer.
The book finishes by telling more about Ada Lovelace and how she continues to inspire people. There is even a programming language named after her.
The story is fine and written well. The illustrations were cute too. I like the supplemental material included.
I received a review copy of this ebook from North South Books Inc. and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
