Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Portable Technologies
Robert Tinker · 2001
52/100
👎 Skip It
This is a peer-reviewed academic monograph on handheld technology in science education, not a children's book — the pillar classification is simply wrong. Within its actual category it has real scholarly merit, but the content is dated (2001), technically dense, and entirely inaccessible to general readers. Cataloging error aside, there is nothing here for Penny's audience.
