Rockridge Press Coding for Kids: Python: Learn to Code with 50 Awesome Games and Activities

Great

This book turned out to be a cook book from inside. Only cover shows it’s about coding. That’s really disappointing. Literally deserves no star.

I bought this python book for my 10-year-old son who loves to play with computers. He was very excited to learn how to code and create his own small programs with turtle. The book is very well written and easy to follow for kids. The pages are thick and good quality, and the print is clear and colorful. The illustrations are fun and catchy, and they help to explain the concepts and examples. The code samples are engaging and interactive, and they cover a variety of topics such as variables, loops, functions, graphics, and more. My son enjoyed trying out the code and seeing the results on the screen. He also learned some basic math and logic skills along the way. This is a great python book for kids who want to learn how to code in a fun and simple way. It is a good starter book to introduce kids to python in this age of AI era.

My son loves it

Good

Bought for 13th birthday present. Chose this as it appeared to be easy to follow. Liked the fact it had answers at the back

Got this for my 10 year old. He already has some very basic programming concepts. I thought the activities would be properly fun engaging projects. But they’re not. They are things like using the shell to assign values to two variables then do basic maths operations.Maybe that is engaging for some kids. Not mine.Activities are explained well. But they’re just boring.
