Cute Cut

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

I work Human Resources for a tech company and this is one of the books we give to our employees when they have a second baby. They love the book and it always gets a good laugh, however, for those who can actually read and understand code, please be warned, not all of the code in the book is accurately written.

Good Quality...doesn't really teach HTML...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

I half got this book for my niece and half for myself. While it's colorful and fun and covers the basic HTML Tags, most tags don't have a proper closing tag...in otherwords, if you put the HTML online, it would have tons of errors...but otherwise it's a fun book!

Quite nice

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

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). Instead, it should be that a child can type it in and see the working result right away..

Cute concept- but isn't accurate and drives my programmer hubby crazy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

I (liberal arts major) thought this would be a funny gift for our baby since my husband is a programmer. WRONG. Apparently (as if I would know this, being that my solution to all computer issues is simply to reboot), the tags (is that even what they are called?) are not correct. Granted, it's for babies, so who really cares, and obviously it's a novelty item, but still. The guy who wrote it is a web designer. Would it really have been *that* hard to make it accurate? My husband thought it was cute, but it drives him crazy that it's not accurate. Oh well, back to Madeline I suppose...

Well made, nice color throughout

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 17, 2016

Verified Purchase

Well made, nice color throughout. Yes, I was bothered somewhat by incomplete HTML coding--but so what? I never seem to have objected to a lack of realism in the Cat in the Hat and no one reasonable expects their baby to learn HTML from this book. It is a great gift for nerd parents (or from a nerd grandparent). I must admit my grand-baby really preferred Peek-A-Boo! (Baby Faces Board Book #01) ; but the only nerd appeal it has is when you call it "Facebook". I have already bought a copy of HTML for Babes for a coworker's child as well. So when does Ruby on Rails fr Toddlers come out?

Great gag, no content.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book makes for a great sight-gag. I was delighted to send pictures of my daughter holding this book to some folks at work. But there's no real content.

Don't get me wrong, I knew that the book wouldn't truly teach my daughter to code, and I didn't expect 100% standards compliance. But some thread (a story? a few words from a nursery rhyme tagged on each page?) to draw me through the entire book with my daughter would have gone a long way toward me reading this book with her for fun.

As it stands now, this book has been sitting on the shelf since the day after she opened it.

HTML for Babies - What will they think of next.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 8, 2013

Verified Purchase

I heard about this product from a work colleague, couldn't believe what I was hearing and had to google it.
Bought this product for my God-daughter for her birthday in Dec, I think she loved it, she's only two, but that's the great thing about this book it will last her years.

I can't wait to see where this book making extravaganza goes.

This is a well recommended product if you want to make sure your child/grandchild/godchild/etc develops into that little geek you really want them too be. ;-)

Congratz to its creators, and watch this space.

Sadly not valid html code

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

My husband and I are both web designers, so we were ordered this book as a Christmas gift for our daughter. Sadly we then discovered that some pages contain code that is not valid - tags being closed without opening, opening without later being closed, etc. After mentioning this to the author on their Facebook Page, they confirmed that was not a mistake, and that due to layout issues they were not always able to fit all the proper tags onto a page/spread. For a book that is supposed to introduce babies/children to the basics of HTML, we find that very disappointing, and therefore decided to return the book. Others may think this harsh, but would you want to introduce your child to a foreign language or math or geometry, or any other subject for that matter, using a book that has errors/omissions on the most basic level?

We commend the author for their idea, but there must be some way to fit valid code into the layout!

The book is fantastic...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

Got this little book so my kids could understand what i actually do (rather than spin round on a chair all day!)
It is rather simple, and does not provide much info, there is however another book in the series which provides more in-depth details.

stupid, pointless

Silly, stupid, pointless... but funny as heck. Gave me lots of daddy points when my co-workers saw it... even though some of the HTML is wrong in the book ;)

OK, but I expected more

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

There is a lot of big (and small) colorful CSS code lines. I expected something more - like some pictures.
At the end it is OK to take funny pictures, but nothing more.
