Book Description

6 and upAlphabasics
Lavishly illustrated with artwork and amazing photographs, Alphabasics are a combination of ABC books and picture dictionaries. Each book names an object for each letter and gives fascinating information on topics that are fresh and appealing to children.
-- an entire page explores one subject and its related topics
-- lavish illustrations and photographs help provide further information
-- entertaining and informative facts

Why are computer problems called "bugs?" One story says that a computer operator found a moth inside a computer that was not working properly and so called the problem a "bug." Computer language and "byte-sized" facts are explained in this easy-to-read book that children will enjoy. 'J' for jargon provides a fun activity of matching slang words, like crash, with their meaning. Full-color photos of children working with computers accompany simple text that deals with:
-- e-mail
-- hardware
-- the internet
-- virtual reality, and more!

Such books encourage kids to let their imaginations soar. . . and to design their own alphabet books -- Brandon Sun, Dec. 28, 1997 --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.
