Python is a powerful programming language that’s easy to learn and fun to use! But books about programming in Python can be dull and that’s no fun for anyone. Python for Kids brings kids (and their parents) into the wonderful world of programming. Jason R. Briggs guides you through the basics, experimenting with unique (and hilarious) example programs featuring ravenous monsters, secret agents, thieving ravens, and more. New terms are defined; code is colored and explained; puzzles stretch the brain and strengthen understanding; and full-color illustrations keep you engaged throughout. By the end of the book, you’ll have programmed two games: a clone of the famous Pong, and “Mr. Stick Man Races for the Exit”—a platform game with jumps and animation. This second edition is revised and updated to reflect Python 3 programming practices. There are new puzzles to inspire you and two new appendices to guide you through Python’s built-in modules and troubleshooting your code. As you strike out on your programming adventure, you’ll learn how to: Use fundamental data structures like lists, tuples, and dictionaries Organize and reuse your code with functions and modules Use control structures like loops and conditional statements Draw shapes and patterns with Python’s turtle module Create games, animations, and other graphical wonders with tkinter Why should serious adults have all the fun? Python for Kids is your ticket into the amazing world of computer programming. Covers Python 3.x which runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, even Raspberry Pi Review: Great starter book for kids - I had an earlier edition of the grown-up version of this book and figured I couldn't go wrong with this one. Got this as a gift for a younger relative and he absolutely loved the book. It kept things easy to understand and follow while helping him feel like he was actually creating something with it. It's a great price and hopefully he'll continue to be interested in Python in the years to come. Review: Very good book for seniors as well - This is a book suposedly written for kids but teaches pyton masterfully for all ages. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #35,635 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4 in Introductory & Beginning Programming #5 in Children's Programming Books #21 in Python Programming | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 150 Reviews | ## Images ![Python for Kids, 2nd Edition: A Playful Introduction to Programming - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dIdhZnNHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great starter book for kids *by E***E on April 4, 2026* I had an earlier edition of the grown-up version of this book and figured I couldn't go wrong with this one. Got this as a gift for a younger relative and he absolutely loved the book. It kept things easy to understand and follow while helping him feel like he was actually creating something with it. It's a great price and hopefully he'll continue to be interested in Python in the years to come. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good book for seniors as well *by F***O on August 20, 2025* This is a book suposedly written for kids but teaches pyton masterfully for all ages. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good, but a few quibbles *by B***A on February 18, 2024* I'm an adult who's struggled to learn to code, but I keep at it. Python is useful for emerging AI applications, and it seems pretty straightforward, so I decided to try again. It seems some of the examples are out of date, and by that, I mean not supported in the most recent release of Python. For example, the .format method is now required for the example on page 30. Lucky for me, I knew just enough to seek out how to resolve the error I got using the example code. There are also some other confusing things, like a puzzle that wants you to write a program that prints out what your weight would be on the moon if you gained 2 pounds every year for 15 years. Simple enough, I guess, except for some reason, the answer key has you convert (incorrectly, even, using 2 rather than 2.2) to kilograms before you even begin for no clear reason. I'm sure a kid would struggle with some of these types of issues. It's slowing me down, that's for sure. But all in all, it's the right level of explanation for a complete newbie and getting me closer to overcoming my fear of coding, so for that, definitely 4 stars. ## Frequently Bought Together - Python for Kids, 2nd Edition: A Playful Introduction to Programming - Coding for Kids: Python: Learn to Code with 50 Awesome Games and Activities - Coding Games in Python (DK Help Your Kids) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/460170613-python-for-kids-2nd-edition-a-playful-introduction-to-programming](https://www.desertcart.at/products/460170613-python-for-kids-2nd-edition-a-playful-introduction-to-programming) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
