My parents got me this QBASIC book when I was in elementary school and I remember it being pretty accessible even for very young readers.

Also the Usborne series are classics and a lot of them have been made freely available:

Thank you! That's an expensive book. And looks like all QBASIC books are like that because they were rare to find anyway.

Maybe I'll just leverage my programming experience and build something using online tutorials and a Dosbian box.


Haha yeah that's a pretty stupid price. You can get it on eBay for $12 but you'd better bid fast because I'm sure it's going to be a very competitive auction. :)
