I'm not sure what My First Reader is but perhaps O'Reilly's cookbook series would fit what you're looking for?
They also have another sub-imprint, whose name is slipping my mind right now, focused on teaching technical topics very visually. The general layout of those books is very illustrated compared to typical technical books.
- cimmanom 8y agoOP is probably referring to the types of books generally supplied to small children who are first learning how to read. They tend to be extremely short (no more than a few dozen words in the whole book); heavily illustrated; and use simple words and sentence structure. By extension, I gather they’re looking for examples of well-engineered programs small and simple enough for a true beginner to thoroughly grok within a short period. Presumably something in a few hundred lines of code that avoids unnecessary indirection or cleverness.
