Storybook Favorites

Choosing Paradise is about the nuances and wonders of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). AI and ML are both topics I have developed an interest in since I began my path on becoming a Computer Engineer. This storybook does well at conveying what someone who wants robots to truly be human-like must go through to create a being that behaves naturally. The process the creator goes through is similar to what most inventors must endure, but his endeavor is focused on creating life. Since I have held programming jobs, this story really jumped out to me and made me want to read more about someone's take on how they think intelligent robots would evolve. In addition, the clean floral design of the home page helped to capture my attention. The flow of the story was easy to follow since the next story was easily accessible in the top right corner. Overall, this storybook had intriguing content and an effortless design.

The Mystical Horses of Hogwarts instantly caught my attention by mentioning Hogwarts. As I am a major Harry Potter fan, I absolutely wanted to know more about the mystical creatures that roam the grounds of Hogwarts. The writer gave a nice explanation about why they chose this topic. By having the background of their main page as the Hogwarts castle, they greatly increased my excitement in reading this storybook. This storybook was a nice reminder of my childhood heroes and definitely brought back some life into these characters after all this time.

A Story of Blood and Fire had an aspect much different from the other storybooks that I had reviewed. This storybook had a song that played for each new page of the storybook. I am always looking for ways to incorporate music into my life, and I love the idea of having a relevant soundtrack in the background while reading. Music enhances everything it is apart of, and by incorporating music into a storybook, the reading gets another layer of drama and emotion. The topic of the storybook was enticing as well. Since the Introduction was from the perspective of a dragon, I truly got removed from my normal thought processes and considered life as a mystical beast.
