I've been using CS First with my new coding club. We're all trying to learn together. While I like CS First, I'd also like to have a book that I could easily go to for answers. I realize that version 3.0 is very new. Can you recommend a good book that I could order in print version rather than one to download and print?

Thank you.

This should go in suggestions I think.

No, he's asking if anybody knows a good book that teaches about Scratch.

The best one I could find

Thank you. I have pre-ordered that.

Jon Woodcock has written many good books about Scratch. The best ones:
- Coding Projects in Scratch
- Coding Games in Scratch

I can also recommend Sean McManus's books:
- Scratch Programming in easy steps
- Cool Scratch Projects in easy steps

The best book about Scratch was written in my eyes by Majed Marji:
- Learn to Program with Scratch
However, it is more aimed at adults despite its childish cover.

All the listed books convince by a good price-performance ratio.

Although you can undoubtedly learn a lot from these books, you must be aware that sooner or later you can only make progress if you take a closer look at interesting Scratch programs and analyze them. I would start now.

Thank you. I will take a look at those.

Carol Vorderman is a famous journalist who lent her name to some of Jon Woodcook's books (She wrote the foreword.). But as mentioned Jon Woodcook wrote the books.

This is a book for absolute beginners, which deals with the programming language Python on half of its place. It might be the wrong choice for Huskies2018.
