I really like this family of books. The Scratch book does what it says.

You want to make some Scratch projects.
The book is sorted into projects, with step by step instructions you can follow, and you end up with a working project. I love these books that actually do step by step, not "vague concept" one or two steps. If I was an expert I wouldn't be reading a tutorial.

I really like this family of books.
