Sara Cleans Her Room: A Sorting Story . ISBN 9798885241854 . ea vol: illus. by Christos Skaltsas. 16p. (Early Coding Concepts). Jump! / Grasshopper . Jan. 2023. Tr. $26.99. PreS-Gr 2— Cheerful, diverse cartoon children play, create, and perform their daily tasks in this adorable series. When Gus comes home from school, he takes care of his dog by performing the same steps every day. Min builds a train track and explores how it affects the train and the rest of the track if she adds different pieces. Pete and his grandpa follow a recipe (which is just a fancy sequence, really) to make a delicious pizza. Sara cleans her room by sorting items neatly by size and color. Each book ends with a "Let's Review" section that defines the coding concept illustrated by the story, then asks a follow-up comprehension question for readers and their grown-ups to discuss. While this series is better described as informational fiction than nonfiction, it explains the coding concepts beautifully for its young audience. VERDICT Recommended, though not as nonfiction.
