When she meets Charles Babbage, the inventor of the first mechanical computer, Ada understands the machine better than anyone else and writes the world's first computer program in order to demonstrate its capabilities. Review: Beautiful art and paragraph per page - My 3rd-grade child selected Ada Lovelace for his biography report. Since most of the research was from google or academic reports it was refreshing to see children's book. He happily pointed out, that each page was about a paragraph long, simple, and to the point. He noticed there was more about her early life, unlike the academic reports he found. He enjoyed looking at the illustration. The illustrations, I found to relate very well with the story. I also liked how the story really focused on her and less on others whom she worked with, which was often found on our google search. Really happy with the book, illustration, and story. Review: CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 2016 CRYSTAL KITE AWARD! - CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 2016 CRYSTAL KITE AWARD! A beautiful read aloud book, especially for younger minds still forming their vision of the world. The image of math girl as nerd or grunge is cast aside in Ada Byron Lovelace and the Thinking Machine, the story of a science-oriented girl growing up in the same world as Queen Victoria. The story of Ada’s curiosity about the natural world and her drive to understand how it works is gracefully told by Laurie Wallmark. The elegant pictures by April Chu illustrate details and emotions that help the reader understand who Ada was on the inside. Together, April and Laurie show how, with the support and encouragement of her inquiring mind, Ada was able to develop the first set of computations to direct a machine, the first computer program in a world before computers. Picture books like this make it easy to see how Science can be part of every childhood. Wishing for more.

Thank you Creston Books! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A winning book with spellbinding illustrations and well-written text!!!! *by V***D on January 6, 2016* This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. The text is well written and informative...what a great nonfiction book for elementary classrooms. And the illustrations...oh my goodness...they are spell-binding. Even if I didn't have any children to read this book to, I would want a copy for myself. And books about 'mighty girls' who excel in the maths and sciences are so important for our young children. I highly recommend this book!!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/18410977-ada-byron-lovelace-and-the-thinking-machine](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/18410977-ada-byron-lovelace-and-the-thinking-machine) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
