K-3Kids Get Coding series.
Illustrated by
Alex Westgate.
A basic introduction to computers, coding, and programming for savvy young readers. Although illustrated with juvenile cartoons, graphs and charts require elementary math beyond arithmetic and the content can be fairly advanced. Still, the authors clearly define important terms and concepts (e.g., algorithm, cookies, bytes, metadata, debug, syntax), and offer quizzes and a website with other activities for young coders. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Kids Get Coding titles: Coding, Bugs, and Fixes, Learn to Program, Online Safety for Coders, and A World of Programming.
