How to Code a Sandcastle

Excelente livro para iniciar a compreensão dos códigos. Leitura envolvente

This book is amazing. So many educational books just aren’t entertaining, or entertaining books don’t actually teach useful lessons.My almost three year old son wants me to read this one again and again.It introduces the concept of breaking big problems into steps, giving specific instructions, putting steps in the right order, using loops, and how once you’ve written code you can use it again easily.As a woman in tech with a male child, I especially appreciate that the main character is a girl, but the book isn’t girly or just for girls. It’s just shown as totally normal that there’s a girl coder.I hope they come out with more books like this!

This is a super fun story that includes basic coding vocabulary. I read it to my 4-year-old as well as to my fifth-graders, and it was a hit with everyone. The fifth graders loved learning a little bit about coding while enjoying a great story. They were fascinated to learn the author, Josh Funk's, background in coding, and loved how he combined his computer skills with his writing.

Coding is all the rage in our school district. Students do it during tech class, they take after school enrichment classes in coding, they code at home! This book will inspire budding coders to try their hand at this fun hobby. I love the illustrations and the back matter that explains the coding terms used in the book. I’m excited to see future books in this series.

Entertaining story that teaches important concepts, such as algorithms, sequence, and loops. Illustrations are well-done and the story really captures children’s attention.
