Back in the early days of computers, special hole-punched cards were used to program operations into the computer. This book simulates some of that action with a special punch card that reveals answers to questions (in rebus-like fashion) to the readers. This book was "retro" even back in 1984 when it was published. The last page includes a template of the computer card so you can make a new one in case the included one gets lost. When I read this book aloud to kids, I like to use a "robot" voice. It is a fun book and teaches, in a very graphic and kinesthetic way, how advanced planning and careful design is needed to set up computer programs.
