There's a great book valled 'Invent your own computer games using Python', aimed at kids, which teaches programming from tne ground up, in the context of writing games, starting with terminal word games, ending with Pygame fullscreen 2D vector graphic & bitmaps affairs. http://inventwithpython.com/ The website says aimed at kids 'ages 10 to 12 and upwards', so it sounds like she's on the minimum cusp. (now I come to look at the website, one of the quotes he features is from an Amazon review I wrote months ago! :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
