“I met the author, Matt Highland, when he came to the Lafayette, CA library to teach a Scratch class to kids…The quality and technical accuracy of this book are excellent. It has lots of screen shots and cute illustrations. Part 1 teaches Scratch, step-by-step. Part 2 walks you through ten fun games, telling you what you’ll learn at the beginning of each game, and then helping you implement it.”―David C. Briccetti
