Great story March 19, 2008
This is one of the most inspirational children's books I've ever read. Your kids will learn the power of persistence through the determined adventures of Chip, an adorable little computer. This book is a great bedtime story; entertaining while carrying a timeless message.
 Fun book! November 10, 2005
Dr. Hope uses an inanimate object to teach a very animated lesson.
Chip's dream is to be in the home of a child where he can help educate. He has so much to teach and share, but it appears that it is never to be.
Events bring him so close to being in the home of two children, but once again he is left on the shelf. An old copy machine teaches him to believe and hold on to his dream. Never losing sight of the mark puts Chip into a place where he can teach loads of children. We could all learn a thing about holding onto our dreams from this book.
Armchair Interviews says: Written in Spanish and English, the book is fun and colorful.
Inspiring! April 7, 2000
Such a cheerful book. You can't help but share Chip's emotions with this wonderful artwork and feeling-filled story. Two thumbs up. VERY well written.
A heartwarming bilingual story illustrating a "life lesson". April 7, 2000
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
"Dr. Hope" is the author of three delightful, bilingual (English/Spanish) picture story books that teach young readers invaluable lessons that will stand them in good stead throughout their lives. Chip, The Little Computer is the heartwarming story of a little computer and how he learns the joy of helping children learn. All of the books are colorfully illustrated with pictures that showcase Dr. Hope's "life lessons". The bilingual format is ideal for young readers to enhance their learning of English and/or Spanish.
My Favorite Story March 17, 2000

I am in the third grade and we are starting to learn Spanish. When I told my teacher that I had a children's book at home that was English and Spanish she asked me to bring it in. All the kids loved Chip, the Little Computer and they all want to borrow it. My teacher said she was going to buy it on Amazon.com. It is a great book and it helped me with my Spanish so you should buy it too!
