Nursery rhymes and fairy tales have been translated into over a hundred languages, but never code; that is, until [Sundae Electronics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sundae-modular-lounge) developed a way to [learn Python code](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codeventure) through fairy tales. The storybook teaches the basics of Python programming by translating the classic stories into programs. When a user runs the book’s Python programs on their computer, the [nursery rhymes and fairy tales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairy-tales-narrated-with-your-voice) are printed out on the screen. Each spread in the book consists of a code page next to a full-page illustration depicting the scene.

Each code page has a full nursery rhyme or partial fairy tale (spread over multiple code pages) written in English above its associated Python program, ensuring an easier translation process.
