FOR KIDS. AND SENIOR EE’S.
With two buttons and an LED, the book explores basic computer logic gates, including NOT, OR, AND, XOR and a Latch. The book uses light sensors to detect which page is open and change the operands accordingly.

HOW DID YOU EVEN
COME UP WITH THIS?
When my oldest was a year old, he would demand that I hold him in the air so he could flip the light switches. Each time he flipped the switch, he would jerk his head around to check the room and confirm that the lights had successfully toggled. He would have done it for hours if my arms had the strength.
This book is inspired by my sons' curiosity, and a hope that I might be able fuel that curiosity, and keep them entertained without having to suspend them in the air to toggle light switches.
Frequently Asked questions
If you're in the US, then yes. Books have arrived, and I am working through the backlog and shipping them out as quick as I can.
If you're in Europe, then I give it 50/50 odds. Books are currently being reworked, and then will ship out of the Netherlands and the UK hopefully this week.
If you're anywhere else in the world, then probably not. Orders around the world just seem to take a long time to get to their destination, so I am hesitant to promise anything.
Yes. The book takes a CR2032 battery that is secured with a screw. And the battery should last 5-10 years.
If you can't get the AND page to light up. Try pressing both buttons at the same time.
If two of the internal pages are acting the same, then the most likely cause is that one of the holes didn't get punched out all the way. In which case you should be able to just punch it out with a pencil or something.
Otherwise, reach out to me via email or through the contact-us page and I'll get you squared away with a replacement.

I bought this for my 4 month old grandson. He is already showing amazing engineering skills and I know this book will further his education in amazing ways. What an amazing book! So much better than the other 30 I’ve already bought for him. Can’t wait for him to open it up on Christmas morning!

I haven't seen a baby play with this book, but it's not my coffee table for visitors to our home to check out. It's interesting to see who gets into and who doesn't understand what this is about.
K
Its a fun an interactive way to explain logic gates, but it would be nice if the book included more exposition of the subject on its own.

Satisfying buttons, pretty colored lights, simple logic gates,,, Heck yeah, my guy. That's what's up.
S
Can't start on any page it seems. Works nicely only when you start on page 1.
Or and absolute or logic on page 3 & 5 (chronologically speaking) might be a little ambiguous for my liking, when it comes to pressing both buttons.
I don't think the pages are numbered correctly based on one of the books I ordered and am testing.
Great work tho
