“Loops make it so that programmers don’t have to repeat commands.”
The story revolves around Adi and Gabi as they notice that the mail carrier’s and the bus driver’s jobs include loops ... repeated activities that need to continue until they are all completed. Lots of other jobs include loops, as well. Excited about their new learning, they decide to try it out with a train set that they have been given. They write their own “programming loop” for the train to drop off and pick up people and packages.
The end of the book includes a challenge for the reader to try to write their own code for a given situation. It also includes a glossary and some more questions to consider to “Think in Code!” A good source for kids who are just getting interested in computer programming.

Loving this series! Using this to introduce loops and various coding vocabulary that is introduced in this book. Thank you to the diverse programmers out there showing the way and modeling for our young students. I see you! I am grateful for you! We are so excited for our Computer Science December with Hour of Code and this series of books!

Good read for them and me.
This is a book I chose to read to my son for his bedtime routine but I don't think he got as much out of it as I did. It was really neat seeing how parts of programming can be compared to everyday life. It may be a children's book but I would recommend this one to anybody trying to understand more about how computers work.
