The Bytes

Bobby Catches a Bug and Bobby Meets a Pirate were the first fully illustrated children’s books published in Britain to attempt to familiarise pre-school children with the concept of computers.

Published by Century in 1983, the books were translated into French and found a wide audience amongst parents keen to introduce their children to the basic concepts of computing.

Fully illustrated by Michael Cole, The Bytes told engaging stories about a family that lived inside a computer game.
