A great introduction to the Pi device for kids, as well as for grown ups.
I didn't need this book and got little mileage out of it, but I think it would be great those who did it. It also serves as a really great introduction on how to install linux on things. Invaluable thing noobs need to learn.

^^ How does a Raspberry Pi benefit you? Because you can buy kits to put one together fairly cheaply, which in turn teaches real tech skills from building and configuring to programming and gaming. It's very educational and quite an achievement to build.
^^ This manual is easy to understand with handy pictures. Very good for beginners.
^^ There's even information about how to write code for Minecraft characters in the Python section. And I can assure you, it's not as difficult as you would expect.
