Join Daddy Penguin Pete and little Oliver as they build, code, and test a special sled train for the little penguins of Iceville, for it is the beginning of summer in the beautiful polar village. 'The Penguin That Can Code - Coding A Train Ride' is the second book in the series 'The Penguin That Can Code' and it covers all the five phases of the software development life cycle including planning, creating, coding, testing and deploying any application, in the most gentle, generic and entertaining way for the littlest of the readers, as they enjoy the story about the penguins celebrating a fun summer in Iceville. Includes a kid-friendly snippet of code. Perfect for ages 3-9.
What a fun way to share coding in a sweet and simple way for children to understand. My kids are already doing this at school and these sweet penguins teach the reader about the use of coding in a manner of teamwork and what happens when you need to rewrite a code to carry victory. Adorable penguin team and cute learning tool.
We really enjoy reading this story. I like the different themes presented here; bonding between father and son, working together, friendship and trying your best to succeed. When Pete starts to code and see how the train will run, I like the simplicity and you can picture all the steps. It's a beautiful way to introduce kids to coding and a great way to play with the penguins.
This is a fun, simple story about the very basic logic that goes into programming codes (or I assume it is since I don't know how to code!) But after reading this book, if penguins can code, I sure bet kids can - and maybe even I can. Cute illustrations engage the reader/listener and the layout of the story is simple and easy to follow.
This is a great book that points out the simple mistakes made by children learning to code. Great resource for home and the classroom. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
