Daughter of Lady and Lord Byron,
Ada had a love for creativity as well as numbers and science. As she grew
older, her love for these never died. When her husband Charles Babbage came up
with the idea for a self-computing analytical machine, Ada and Charles were
excited to put their design to work. This is the story of how Ada helped
Charles to convert the design and how she became the first computer programmer.
The layout is well done and easy
to follow. The information is useful and intriguing. The illustrations are
fairly detailed and colorful and easily complement the text. Readers interested
in computer programming, Ada Lovelace, and/or biographies about women who
changed the world will enjoy reading this book. Included are a timeline,
sources for further information, and glossary for further common core
alignment. EL (K-3). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI
