Why we like it

We like how this book makes coding feel approachable rather than intimidating. What really works is that it doesn't just explain how computers function, it gets children thinking about all the technology around them. After reading this, children will start noticing computers in everything from microwaves to traffic lights, which lead to some genuinely interesting conversations about how the world actually works.
