I only did a search for "programming book for kids" on Amazon. Maybe they all suck, maybe not. Maybe Linda's book will suck, too. I just want to know why a programming book written by a woman is presumed to be superior to programming books written by men. And I have nothing against programming books written by women - my question is why enter the gender angle. Maybe men would be less likely to use a female protagonist, I haven't sampled the books content. Maybe not. So it's maybe nice to have a programming book with a female protagonist, but I doubt it is something only women would think of. In fact I suppose if a man who has a daughter were to write such a book, he would be quite likely to make the protagonist female, too. Btw. the Python books for kids looks as if there are also stories in it, and I saw at least one rave review from an 8 year old: http://www.amazon.com/Python-Kids-Playful-Introduction-Programming/dp/1593274076/ref=sr_1_3/183-1964998-8522057?ie=UTF8&qid=1390495468&sr=8-3&keywords=programming+books+for+kids http://www.amazon.com/Python-Kids-Playful-Introduction-Progr... Maybe Alice in Wonderland would work, too?
