I'm not a writer, so I can't give advice for how, but for a great example, you should check out the novel The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson. The protagonist is a young girl who finds a "magic" book that is part fairy tale, part computer science textbook. It seamlessly weaves in allegories for binary arithmetic, Turing machines, and programming.
I wish I could give a more detailed description, but it's been too many years since I read it and online summaries focus on other parts of the novel (there's a lot going on!).

- sonicaa 8y agoHave you seen this book of ABCs for babies by Judith Neumann? https://bubblin.io/book/abcd-animal-book-by-judith-neumann/1 https://bubblin.io/book/abcd-animal-book-by-judith-neumann/1 I thought it might be useful to consider animations over static artwork in some cases—especially for subjects that are hard to explain without visual explanations -- like a canvas experiment to explain pendulum motion. Or a gravitational slingshot or a chapter on optics and lensing.
- jelliclesfarm 8y agoOh!! Thanks for the ideas. All good ones!
