Review: Teaching Scratch programming using Sean McManus's books - I have been using Sean's books on Scratch as the basis for teaching Coderdojo classes to an age range of 8 to 15 years. I have been very happy with the material and I am currently teaching it to a 3 hour weekly session with all 15 -20 participants using the introductary TIPS online tutorial in Scratch 2.0 online and then Cool Scratch Projects book. This approach is proving successful and satisfying. I have also used Sean's "Scratch Programming in easy steps" and found it very acceptable. Review: Great Book! - Fantastic book! Our 9-year-old hasn’t put it down since it arrived. Simple to follow instructions. We skipped the first book and went straight to this one. Our son has managed to follow it and is really enjoying it.

Great Book!
Fantastic book! Our 9-year-old hasn’t put it down since it arrived. Simple to follow instructions. We skipped the first book and went straight to this one. Our son has managed to follow it and is really enjoying it.

Fair enough, useful addition to library
Book was in excellent condition. It concentrates mainly on games (fair enough) I would have liked a bit more on data handling is all.

I love the first book
I love the first book, i.e. 'Scratch programming in easy steps'. I bought this one to teach more advanced kids but the scripts are a bit convoluted and probably not properly tested. So, the kids get frustrated and it takes ages for them to complete projects. In fairness, maybe the book is not for kids.

Great book, very easy to follow with good example programs.
Bought this book for my daughter, once she started following one of the included programs she was hooked and made a great game she is very proud of.

Es un libro que cubre bien con diversos ejemplos de proyectos interesantes/divertidos desarrollados bajo Scratch. No se debe cometer el error que muchas veces he leído en valoraciones de otros libros, de considerar que es introductorio; sino que ya se deben tener conocimientos de Scratch para comprender y desarrollar cualquier cambio a los proyectos incluidos. También debe considerarse el estilo de edición de la serie "In Easy Steps" tanto en cantidad de páginas, extenso uso de color, figuras, etc.

I like this book and follow the instructions to make Scratch projects frequently.

This book is a bit dated as it's using Scratch 2.0 and 1.4 while the latest is 3.0 so there are something's that don't quite lineup.
