Reviews
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.
Craig Steele breaks down how the internet began, how websites run, and what coding actually does, all in a highly accessible and fascinating way that 9+ year olds will relate to. . . Terri Po's illustrations help explain more complex ideas, turning big digital concepts into clear and discussion-worthy topics for KS2 classes. Highly recommended.
Complex ideas are made wonderfully digestible through lively illustrations, clear examples and thoughtful activities that invite children to experiment and explore safely. . . Parents will appreciate its balanced blend of technical insight and sensible guidance, and children will enjoy discovering how the invisible infrastructure behind their favourite websites truly works.
