Coding for Kids: The Missing Bracket: A Fun Story About Syntax (Ages 4–8)

Coding for Kids: The Missing Bracket uses a simple story problem—a tiny missing piece—to introduce big beginner ideas like syntax and debugging. As the characters search for what’s missing, kids see how small details can change outcomes, and how careful checking can help fix mistakes. This book describes the book as perfect for ages 4–8 and positions it as an approachable way to talk about early coding concepts in everyday language. It’s a natural fit for story time time at home or as part of a homeschool routine, STEM story time, or a friendly classroom introduction to “how we find and fix errors.” If you’d like a screen‑free kids coding story that supports confidence, persistence, and problem‑solving, this title is designed to make those ideas feel fun and understandable.
