I gave this book to both of my daughters, and holy heck am I glad that I did!
No more pictures on the fridge, no more writing on the walls; now the kids are spending their time creating websites to inform family and friends of what they are doing.
One family member suggested that my 2 year old use Facebook, but due to the lax security I decided against it. But there are no concerns now that we spent the last two nights going over security procedures including HTTPS; XSS and SQL Injection. Though I will admit, the SQL Injection part was a bit scary, and I'm sure it led to nightmares.
Overall though, this has really opened up communication in our home AND it has set my daughter off into a new career. Thanks Amazon! You're the best!

I was so excited for this book to arrive, but as soon as I opened it, my happiness dissipated. Whereas I didn't expect my 9 month old to be diving into developing his own code after gnawing on this book, I did at least assume that his new chew toy would contain valid HTML syntax. This book was a cute idea and it had great potential, but it all seems pointless if the markup is off.

The HTML in this book is invalid, incorrect, or missing large sections. If it could be read as English with extra symbols, that would be fine, but that doesn't work either. This book is worthless, both because its "HTML" is completely nonsensical, and because my 2-year-old finds the book boring.

only good for a joke
I bought it for a web programmer friend with a newborn, it's amusing, but has only a couple of pages and does nothing. Not worth the sight gag.

Quite nice
This is a very cool and interesting idea for a book.
4 stars, because the syntax of some examples is incorrect (HTML tags not started, etc). Read more
