Stuffed with facts
This book presents an exciting and challenging introduction to artificial intelligence and robotics for young people (probably ages 8-12). Jefferis describes many aspects of artificial intelligence, from the history of the field, to how computers work, robot sensors, gaming, neural networks, robot companions, and robot ethics. Each topic gets a 2-page spread, with at least as much space devoted to pictures as text. The text itself is clear and understandable, yet it doesn't come across as being dumbed down for kids. At the end of the book is an AI historical timeline, a glossary, and an index.

Building a road, building a vocabulary
My husband and I are amazed how much this book has captured the attention of our 2 year old triplets, especially the "youngest" boy. In three weeks, he has memorized the first half of the book including the multi-syllable names of machines and such. Not only has this book heightened his fascination for these road building machines, but also he has learned the names and the meaning of what these machines actually do. This is great and I strongly recommend it for a fun and educational read! ... Read more
