I feel I've always done that because I learned programming through Usborne's books, and her work reminds me of that. Usborne books helped me grok difficult things very fast when I was about 10 years old. For a while, when using variables and arrays, I would always think of robots grabbing things from shelves. Examples and PDF downloads (!): https://boingboing.net/2016/02/07/usborne-releases-free-pdfs-of.html https://boingboing.net/2016/02/07/usborne-releases-free-pdfs...
