Review
While this is a basic introduction to coding, it presents some sophisticated and complicated ideas. At first glance, cartoon-like illustrations make it seem younger. "Data Duck," a rubber duckie is found adding information through thought bubbles throughout the book. Activities, including some done with paper and pencil are found throughout the book. There is also an index, glossary, and extension activities at the end of the book. Overall, a satisfactory introduction to coding for younger children.
Overall Book Score: good
