I’m still selling Computer Engineering for Babies. And I just launched a new book called Simple Machines Made Simple on Kickstarter a month or two ago. Both books are basically just simple interactive demos for kids and adults.

It makes me so happy to see this genre taking off. We did "ABCs of Programming" [1] when our son was 2 at least partially because there weren't any real kid's books talking about what "dad does all day". Funnily enough it wasn't selling that well until I posted an article [2] on HN about my experience writing it. Then it did steady business for a few years

I got gifted Computer Engineering for Babies and big Babies last Christmas in preparation for having our first child :) They are great!

Literally the first book I bought for my hellspawn. We had fun working out the mechanisms.

One of my favorites! The baby likes it. The grandparents are confused by it.

My kid got a copy of your first book as a gift a couple years ago. It's really fun to have on the shelf. The buttons are so satisfyingly clicky. Thanks!

[crobertsbmw]

Thanks for buying it!!

I bought two copies of Computer Engineering For Babies for some close friends! They were absolutely delightful.

Thank you! As it has become popular at baby showers to bring a book I always send my partner with the original 2. We have probably gifted 5 or 6 sets now.

We are excited for the next version.

Bought probably 6 copies between the first and second. Love this book! First gets stuck in NOT mode sometimes but it’s chill.

[crobertsbmw]

Yeah, I’ve improved it a lot, but a lot of the books from the run I did 18 months ago get confused on the cover page thinking it’s open to the NOT page.

ooooh what was the fix? It seems so hard to rely on light for the page numbers! My niece was just doing "For Big Babies" in a dim room and my brother in law had to point his flashlight at it to keep it on the current page.

I am commenting on this so i will fi d it easy when i will need to buy a present for one of my friends’ babies. :)

I always see your ads. My first baby is expected to be born next year and I cannot wait to buy it for her

[kaeruct]

Just bought a German copy. Spanish would be nice as well :)

[BrokenCogs]

This is amazing! Do you ever run a sale (christmas, boxing day, etc)?

[navaed01]
