      This splashy, engaging volume is chock-full of authoritative information. The book is divided into 15 chapters, each one containing several 2-page spreads on a subject, then further divided into more specific topics. For instance, the spread on encoding images is broken down further into the topics pixels and vectors, color and light, resolution, and why images are so large. The chapters are logically sequenced, ranging from an introduction to computer science to programming languages to website and app construction to the future of computers. The colorful pages consist mainly of diagrams rather than photos. A glossary and index complete the volume. This excellent introduction to the field is not just for parents?it is for anyone curious about computer science.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
