Review by Booklist Review

With bright, colorful illustrations and a pleasantly jumbled layout, these titles in the Kids Get Coding series introduce key computer-programming concepts to early elementary-schoolers. Each volume uses approachable, everyday examples and a friendly tone to both explain why coding is important and invite readers to try a few simple activities in the text or a linked website, which includes both Scratch exercises and worksheets. Coding in the Real World explains computer basics, such as input, output, and sensors, and highlights some of the unexpected places coding is important, such as streetlights and grocery stores. The simple, straightforward text is nicely pitched to a younger audience, and the cheerful illustrations and hands-on components give this useful, high-interest topic added appeal.--Hunter, Sarah Copyright 2018 Booklist
