K-Gr 2-A brief history of computer coding is presented in this beginning reader. It also includes its modern uses and suggestions for children who want to learn to code, including some real-world examples. Like many other books designed for emerging readers (this one is defined as "level two"), there are short chapters, large-sized text, and a limited vocabulary for the paragraph (or so) that appears on each page. It allows readers to feel that they are finishing the tome, while respecting their reading level. Several other features, such as the table of contents, glossary, and notes for parents, are helpful in allowing emerging readers to learn the parts of a book. Especially noteworthy are the colorful visuals made up primarily of fresh and engaging photos. A variety of genders and races are portrayed performing the actions discussed. VERDICT A solid choice for beginning readers that presents a factual, historical, and contemporary look at coding with high-quality photos and grade-level appropriate text.-Elizabeth Nicolai, Anchorage Public Library, AK
