That's a shame :( I had been hoping to use this book with my daughter (she's been getting into coding on retro machines like our C64) but I don't think I want to complicate things with the added cognitive load of tokenizing keywords she doesn't even know yet, by hand.

Give her some credit
If us old farts got by with it as kids... she'll be fine. Though I wouldn't pass by an opportunity to make things better if possible.
Agreed completely
She will blow through it same as so many of us did.
Just imagine it is a write-only language like FORTH.
