Like other books in this series, it is a fun little introduction to inspiring people. Definitely a great way to introduce kids to biographies and a nice read for adults too. I would recommend all the books in this series.

A superb book about an absolutely fascinating woman!
As an adult I really enjoyed the book - the images are brilliant and I loved learning about her life.
I wish all biographies were this fun and interesting - great facts!

Unfortunately, I was unable to read this book due to a formatting issue.

My review is based on the blurb.

The Little People Big Dreams series are always great, and I'd always happily recommend any and all of them to customers. I'm yet to find one I don't like and they offer a great introduction to some fascinating people for kids (and in some cases adults too!).

This book is filled with beautiful illustrations and easy to understand story.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love this series, it's always a joy to read about someone who I may a lot, a bit or nothing at all. The art style is pleasing to look at, these are books would be a great addition to many elementary classrooms.

There are two versions of this book - a board book for babies and toddlers and the regular version. I read both and they are great.

(General series review) These are fabulous stories about great women and men in history (for the most part). The illustrations are so amazing, both for kids and adults. There is a brief history on the person that explains how this person contributed to history and matters

This is another lovely addition to the “My first Little people, BIG DREAMS” series.
It tells the story of Ada Lovelace, a talented mathematician and the world’s first computer programmer.
I adored the illustrations in this, and how well they told the story.
I’m so happy that there is a book introducing kids to Ada Lovelace now that a big part of our lives contain a sort of computer, be it in one form or the other.

My daughter and I loved this book! Ada Lovelace's life and achievements told in lovely illustrations for children. Can't wait to see more from The Little People library.

I knew zero about Ada Lovelace, so not only did my children enjoy this book, but so did I. I will be purchasing the entire series of these books for my kiddos, and myself, haha!

This is another great book in the Little People, Big Dreams series. I had heard the name of Ada Lovelace before, but had no idea what she had done or what she was famous for. Augusta Ada Byron grew up alone much of the time, but she had a great imagination and maths. In this book we learn about her famous family, her love of maths and problem-solving, meeting inventor Charles Babbage, and her creation of a code language to program machines. Ada has become known as the world's first computer programmer. Her story is about the power of imagination and perseverance. This is a child friendly biography with beautifully quirky illustrations that go very well with the text. It is a story that shows a young woman striving to achieve her dream. This is another in the "My First ..." series geared for young children. These books are a must for public and school libraries.

Just stop it Little People. There is no reason to take an already good book and simplify it even more for board book form. You could just print the entire book in board book form. When you do this it makes the story to simple to really tell anything about the person highlighted. Ava Lovelace wrote the first computer code. We get it. But the original book did such a better job.

My daughter was very impressed to learn about Ada Lovelace, especially that she created a language computers are based on today. She also became really interested in the big calculator machine, which isn't something I had heard of either so we were able to spend some time looking up photos and information on "the difference engine." I do think this book wasn't as strong in terms of storytelling as some of the others in this series, but we still enjoyed it.

"Ada Lovelace" is a wonderful new addition to the "Little People, Big Dreams" series. The mini biography of Ada Lovelace, though short, covers the essence of what the book is about- her determination, passion and her using of imagination to accomplish something "impossible" to the people in her time. The graphics are wonderful as expected. I love the fact that word count is about 120 words with short and direct sentences. This makes such a great read for beginning readers. My 5yo enjoyed reading it on his own.

A lovely story about a lesser known and undervalued woman. Ada's work paved the way for computer programming when they came into existence. As always the illustrations were beautiful.

Board book version of the famous Ada Lovelace. Includes her birth and the early training from her parents. Her meeting with mentor and inventing the code. This is a lovely big-picture biography.

Myself and junior blogger, Miss F are HUGE fans of this series! We are working our way through them all and were thrilled that we were approved to read this one.
The illustrations are deceptively simple, there are a lot of details in there that pull the eye. The story and background of Ada Lovelace is not one I am familar with so we enjoyed reading about her conribution to the calculator and computer language-what we love most about the series is the extra reading which is recommended at the back-perfect!
Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for letting us read this !

This preview copy is for the board book edition. While Ada Lovelace is a great addition to this series, the illustrations are a bit dark for a boardbook. The multiple-page inclusion of how Ada's mother discouraged her imaginative drawings of inventions and steered her toward mathematics also seemed out of place for a boardbook. I would not recommend this as the first or only boardbook biography for a child. However, if you already have others in the series (Maria Montessori is a fabulous one!), then this would be a fine addition.

Based upon this boardbook version, I suspect that the hardcover edition of this book will be fabulous and a must-add addition to any children's collection.

I adore the “Little People, Big Dreams” books, but “Ada Lovelace” is one of the weaker books in this series for me.
While the illustrations were great as usual, the story itself seemed a bit weak. Of course it’s difficult to sum up a person’s life in just a few sentences that are also easy to understand for kids, but I feel like it was done better in the other books.
Nevertheless, kids would probably enjoy this book a lot.

I've totally fallen for the Little People series and the book about Ada Lovelace is no different. I loved the illustrations and the fact that the book tells about a women who's into maths, proving that maths isn't "just for boys".
