This is entirely a teaching book--there is no story present that does not serve the purpose of showing the steps of coding. This does a great job of giving examples of what coding instructions should look like, as well as loops and sequences. Would be good to introduce elementary coding.

A picture book about computer programming told as how to instruct/code a robot to build a sandcastle.
This was a great book about coding for younger readers. It still went over my kids’ heads a little, but my daughter was grasping some of the concepts! This book was cute and fun, and I loved seeing a diverse character as the coder!
Introduction to coding or just a reminder of how it’s all connected.
Great overview of the basics of coding that's would be reasonable to introduce to kids starting around age 7.
Through books like the Secret Coders series, Two Naomis, and now How to Code a Sandcastle, I’ve slowly begun to learn more and more about coding, and I find it fascinating! If I was a kid now, I would be so excited to have books like these to introduce me to coding. How to Code a Sandcastle is special because it takes coding, which is a tool that is primarily not taught until middle school or later, and makes it accessible to younger kids helping them build their coding vocabulary and knowledge at a young age. My son at age 4 now knows a basic idea of what coding is which is such a great foundation! Bravo Josh and Brava Sara for producing such an essential and gosh-darn funny book for kids.

My favorite Josh Funk picture book! (Until his next picture book is released.)
