And then suddenly, the penguins of Iceville are having a hard time, since they are not able to find enough fish. As the story proceeds, the little penguin accidentally finds a place that has lots of fish and with the help of Daddy Penguin and some coding they are able to bring enough fish to Iceville which makes Daddy Penguin a hero.There is even a fun snippet of code included in the story for little ones.

An interesting book that shows a very simple code

This book has cute graphics; quite simple and very nice. I don't think the penguin would code in Python - too dangerous. Since he lives near the water he will eventually code in C.

A sweet book

A sweet book for kids with very simple drawings. I liked the cute story and the simple coding introduced too.

Fun way to show how coding works

This is a great introduction to way and how to code for little ones. A heart warming tale that shows that it’s ok to be different and that coding helps to solve problems. Another fab book in a great series.
