Scratch 2.0 Sams Teach Yourself in 24 Hours

I purchased this to teach my teenage nephew about programming, and I'm fairly impressed with it vs. a competing book I bought (geared for teens). This explains the topics well in a logical progression and without coming off as too "techy" in the language. I have to also say that it really is great that the pictures are in color - Scratch is very color-oriented, and this was a major improvement over the other book which had B&W photos. I do wish the pictures were a bit bigger - some are unnecessarily small considering there's white space on the page - and the color print does make it harder to read the small text.
