    • We now have in stock the ISBN 978-1-59327-531-0 "covers version 2.0" version. (It now has a green cover instead of blue and updates for Scratch 2)! :)

    I got this book for my 7-year old a few months ago, and he loves it! It's comic-bookish enough that it doesn't seem daunting, and the projects are fun, but not too complicated. The physical quality of the book is good, too. Thick pages and a durable cover so that it won't easily be destroyed by it's intended audience.
