AI At Home and AI At Work are both nonfiction books that focus on AI and different ways that it can be helpful as well as how its evolved over time. Both titles contain a table of contents, ideas for teachers and parents to use this book with readers, as well as colorful pictures throughout. There is an in-depth chart about AI as it relates to whatever the overarching topic of the book is. At the end of both books, there is a glossary, an index, as well as some extra activities.

THOUGHTS: These books are great introductions for younger students to use AI and how AI affects their lives in ways they may not think about. Great addition for every elementary collection, and possibly some middle school collections depending on what AI books they already have.

Posted on by

Reynolds, Peter H. Our Table. Orchard Books, 2021. 978-1-338-57232-2. $17.99. 48 p. Grades Pre K-3.

This sweet story is about a young girl who notices that her family is spending less time together, being pulled in various directions and being lured away from each other by technology. The dining room table represents the family being pulled apart by slowly shrinking, and eventually disappearing all together. So the little girl uses technology to bring her family together, by building a new table as a family.

THOUGHTS: Peter H. Reynolds never disappoints. This sweet story is a reminder of what is truly important.
