Coding Projects in Python (DK Help Your Kids)

In this Coding Projects in Python book designed for kids, users have expressed a mix of positive and negative feedback. One reviewer mentioned that their niece enjoys coding now because of the book's focus on using visuals and graphics to retain kids' attention. The book explains coding concepts in Python and provides code snippets. However, some users have noted that the book includes both basic examples and deeper knowledge like random number generators, which may lead to a superficial understanding for kids. The arrangement of explanations and coding steps was found to be confusing for some kids, particularly in terms of knowing whether to change code in place or add it as an addition. Additionally, reviewers appreciated the fun projects that build on each other, making lessons simple and easy to follow along. The book is valued for providing suggestions and hints to expand on the projects. Some users, however, did not like that all the code for the programs was provided, wishing for more challenges to try with their own code. While the initial projects were deemed too simple, the complexity increased as the book progressed, introducing advanced Python concepts like functions and lambdas, which some felt may be challenging for the intended age group of 9 to 12-year-olds. On the positive side, many users found the book to offer great value and praised its hands-on approach, especially compared to other similar books they Considered. Kids were reported to enjoy building games and graphics while learning from the book, with some noting that it is their favorite coding resource. The inclusion of flowcharts was appreciated as a step towards teaching good programming practices. Though the content of the book has garnered praise, some users experienced disappointment with the product quality, such as receiving a book with water damage. Despite this, the majority of reviews suggest that this book could be a valuable resource for children interested in learning Python. **
