Appreciated submitted by Claireywang on August 17, 2018, 9:36pm I really appreciated this book because it had some great ideas that I think alll scratchers should take a look at, especially if your running out of ideas. I was, and now I am currently working on one of my biggest projects ever, on Scratch. The book also provides solutions, though it also lets u mix it up a little. Not too long, and full of ideas and inspiration. I recommend this to anyone from a beginning coder tomadvanced ones.

Easy submitted by selesela on June 22, 2020, 11:01pm This book is very good for kids who is a beginner.

Dissatisfied submitted by luveu96 on June 24, 2022, 3:30pm This book wasn’t the way I thought it would be. It has instructions, but not clear pictures and instructions. I was really disappointed. I would only rate it 1/5.
