Lift-the-Flap Computers and Coding: 1

This book is a fantastic introduction into the workings of computers and coding. I purchased this as a gift for an adult who's technical computer knowledge was limited. Whilst the intention of my purchase was to give the book as a cheeky gift, the book was well received and enjoyed!The book is well put together and fantastically illustrated. There are many flaps to lift and provides a fun and interesting way to learn about computers and coding. I only wish I had such a book when I was younger.The book is made up of thick card pages with many flaps to lift. Under each flap is more interesting information. For example there's a page illustrating the components of a computer. The reader first lifts the keyboard to expose information about the components inside.It covers what a computer is, the components inside and how a computer works. The book progresses into explaining how computers operate based on instructions and code, with a great introduction into Scratch (a simple, free and fun way to learn basic programming). The book offers a little history lesson on computers too.The book is aimed at children, however many adults I know would benefit from reading it! With the target audience in mind you won't get in depth information from this book, but you will get a fun and interesting introduction at a great price.

Fun early learning resource.

It's a good book, but a little busy. There is a lot of information packed into each page, which is good, but a little full-on for younger kids.I have not found anything better for introducing coding for kids, so not a bad one to have.The robots are very cute and the concepts have good visual explenations.

For my Autistic 9 year old boy, computers are the best thing in the world, he builds them and has recently decided that he want to start coding! He has even enrolled in a coding club.When my brain finally caught up I thought what can I do to fuel this passion, I have used the Usborne flap books before and we have lots of them in our house. This particular books is interesting and informative and is suitable and gives the right level of difficulty for my boy. I love how these books are interactive and pique their interest with the information contained under the flaps.Again I feel that this is another success and I have a lot of confidence in these books.

My kid loves these flap books

A simpy superb book. I'm a software engineer with a computer science degree. I would give this book to other adults to explain to them how computers work. Fun and informative. A little advanced for my 5 year old, but to someone in KS2 it's brilliant.

Perfect for my year 2 granddaughter who is just starting learning about computers at school. Very interesting and engaging. These lift-the-flap books are a great fun way to learn.

I bought this for my 5 year old son who is fascinated by electronic devices. He's not yet a reader so I had to do that bit for him but he loved lifting up the tabs and looking at the pictures. Some bits are beyond his grasp at the moment but it's a book we'll keep dipping into over the next few years.

Bought for a difficult to shop for 8 year old boy. He was so enthralled and his mom said it was the best Christmas gift he got this year. Highly recommend for any tech babies.

Amazing book! My son loved this book and is really excited about coding.Check out other books from the same company. We also have a book on Scratch Coding and the Periodic Table.High quality hard cover book with really nice flaps with cool art and fun facts.

Amazing books for a 8 year old kid

My kids love this! Interesting facts and information

el libro es perfecto me ha encantado.Tiene mucha información en ingles para que los niños empiecen a programar y a aprender sobre ordenadores
