Speaking to a global movement to teach children to code, this Python programming workbook breaks down key concepts into small, easy-to-understand parts. Your child is encouraged to practise copying code into the workbook so their new computer literacy sticks. A playful, hands-on approach that enhances other cognitive benefits such as skills in problem solving and abstract thinking.

As you flip through this you would think it was aimed at 7-8 year old's, so I bought it, for my son. It's not, this first few pages describe how you need to download Python. We did this, then the directions in the book fail to match the available options on the computer (iMac). 7 year old disheartened by this, but we continued with the work book exercises, which he enjoyed. The exercises get progressively more complex to the point where it becomes confusing. Page layout is cluttered and very off putting for a 'Made Easy' book. Save your money.
