Hi,

Our 17-month-old son just loves the O'Reilly Learning Python book. I suppose he especially likes the cute "mouse" on the cover. (I haven't had the guts to tell him that it's actually a rat).

Just thought you might like to know. :-)

Best greetings and keep those great books coming.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the pictures. Feel free to tell him it's a rat; my kids have two pet rats and they find them just fine to play with. They're quite cute, too. Here's a picture of one of ours.
