Summary: The Computer Bug
Review: "Input, Input to be exact" says one of the fuzzy data to Annie. Annie is a spider from the park that accidentally gets carried away into a dark building called "WEBTECH". Nico a computer worker has started a program called the "Park Program" to analyze the city's park. After a long while Annie gets hungry deciding she wants some bugs. As Nico leaves the computer overhears Annie talking to herself about eating Bugs. The computer takes it the wrong way thinking she meant Computer bugs. The computer invites her in to eat the bugs. Annie agrees because she saw it would benefit both of them. -----The computer wants the bugs out of it.----- -----Annie wants the bugs inside of her.----- This book I would say is probably about...5th-6th-grade level. The pictures that are included in this book are really helpful to understand the plot of it all. Inside the computer is a dark and sheltered world. The data have a hard time understanding Annie because of their limited knowledge. Annie is willing to help take care of any problem with her new friends inside the computer. Will she get rid of the "Bugs"? Stephen Tucker does an exceptional job at word choice, also using words out of the ordinary but yet kids could understand them!(I thought that would be an Oxymoron?)

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone! It helps with computer language and puts in a more understandable view. It is also very enjoyable, with adventure and having the cold metal parts of computers portrayed as living things.

Summary: My review
Review: This is an excellent book for young readers, but it will become a little dull for more advanced readers. This book will keep you suspended for quite a while and is a fairly easy book to read.

Summary: The Computer Bug; input that takes a byte at adventure!
Review: Who said learning isn't fun? Certainly not Annie! Annie the spider takes the reader on an adventure right into the techno world of computers. Computers can be scary for those who don't understand them. But Annie helps spin this mystery world into a place of many friends. While computers may be small as a bug, Annie shows us the impact they can have on a much bigger world!

This is a great read for 8-12yrs. But just like the "Winnie the Pooh" classics, it can be enjoyed at all ages for its adventure, humor, and joyful approach to teaching big lessons in small ways.
