I was confused about the title "Kids Get Coding" as it doesn't cover coding. But the first message is how kids need to be internet superheroes in order to be coders.
Data Duck will take kids through the book and help them learn how to use the Internet safely. Published in 2016, this non-fiction book covers the following topics:
*what is the internet?
*the Web
-browsers
-URLs
-I like the visual web address they show here; breaking down all the parts of a website address
*search engines
-Google
-crawler
*cookies
-Cookie Trail activity
*going places online
-IP address
*privacy
*digital identity
-3 ways info about us gets stored online: IP, cookies, info on forms
*security
-privacy settings
-username/password
*sharing/social media
-cyberbullying

There are activities in the book and online that kids can try.
The wordage is simple and easy for young students to understand. Graphic illustrations will grab their attention.

Exploring the library shelves for all books on CODING, this one was present. It quickly became in my top 3 favorites from a stack of 30 books on the subject. One- This is an independent reader. My 4th grader can and will sit reading this. It is written for him with good graphic design. Two- There are activities included. Three- The content covers what I would expect, and is well focused. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Not really related to coding, so this is misleading. But it's great for little kids and new parents on how to keep them safe online.
