Description
Sparky!The ingenious author of 17 Things I'm Not Allowed to Do Anymore and a brilliant illustrator and production designer of the Coraline movie have created a hilarious, touching picture book perfect for young animal lovers. Like the Caldecott Medal winning Officer Buckle and Gloria, Sparky stars a pet who has more to offer than meets the eye. When our narrator orders a sloth through the mail, the creature that arrives isn't good at tricks or hide and seek
The ingenious author of 17 Things I'm Not Allowed to Do Anymore and a brilliant illustrator and production designer of the Coraline movie have created a hilarious, touching picture book perfect for young animal lovers. Like the Caldecott Medal-winning Officer Buckle and Gloria, Sparky stars a pet who has more to offer than meets the eye. When our narrator orders a sloth through the mail, the creature that arrives isn't good at tricks or hide-and-seek . . . or much of anything. Still, there's something about Sparky that is irresistible. Winner of the Charlotte Zolotow AwardBinding Type: Hardcover

Breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized, practical chapters.
Format: Kindle
This hands-on guide to Ollama is exactly what I needed! The author breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized, practical chapters that get straight to the point. The sections on different Ollama models and customization were particularly helpful. If you're looking to learn about building local LLM-powered applications without any fluff, this book is a great investment.

Love it - revolutionary approach to teaching, presenting complex concepts
Format: Paperback
This book is a game-changer for neural networks and AI enthusiasts. It takes a revolutionary approach to teaching, presenting complex concepts in a simple and engaging manner. The book is filled with colorful diagrams and illustrations that make learning accessible and enjoyable. I’ve read several other books, but this one stands out. It’s not a beginner’s guide, but once you grasp the early concepts, it takes you to a whole new level of understanding. I will give it 10 stars if I could.
