Books for Keeps
The split pages make the book huge fun allowing the reader to design numerous different robots.. Its sturdy construction with a spiral binding will enable it to stand up to the heavy handling it is sure to get in a classroom or at home, as eager youngsters delightedly flip the sections back and forth, playfully learning a considerable amount while so doing.

The language used about this complicated subject is straightforward and so would be an excellent addition to any primary school classroom where children now learn about computing from an early age… I strongly recommend this book which is engaging and packed with useful basic information.
