“Craig Steele's From AI to Wi-Fi is so important because it helps define what the internet is and why it plays a big role in our lives. I really love the illustrations throughout the book, they are bright, cheery and clear, they help the reader absorb the information and Steele's writing mirrors this - it's clear and concise, funny and upbeat. . . With activities sprinkled throughout the text, this is a must-have for librarians, teachers and parents alike.”Lucas Maxwell, LoveReading4Kids
