Plain Talking, In the Know, and other tip sections will help clearly define terms used and provide facts and helpful suggestions. Step-by-step instructions, Try This! tips, and a Code Checker will help kids as they learn to use Scratch, and solutions to the challenges and a glossary accompany the text. Invitingly illustrated with anime flair, this series provides an excellent foundation for coding via clear examples and online practice. With a well-organized layout and the Basher illustrations young readers love, these titles should not be missed by readers (of any age) who wish to learn how to code.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
