s far as I am concerned, the words
coding
and
cool
do not belong in the same sentence. For me, this was a painful read. I found the highlight of this book to be the illustration of the Husky, my favorite breed of dog, on page 58. In fact, I understand Huskies more than I do coding.

' While the target audience is readers ten years old and up, adults may be interested in this book as well. I am not one of those adults.

olorful illustrations accompany a dizzying amount of facts and instructions. Beginning techies will be entertained, I suppose, while they learn about computers and programming. However, this is not the book for you if cleaning out your closet sounds like more fun than learning about computer technology.
I
figure my intense disinterest in this subject is related to the fact that, when I was young, computers were not a household item or even something everyone had access to. Coding involves numbers and math, a subject I never particularly cared for nor excelled in. Now, diagramming sentences ... that's fun!
