<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Arial" size="+0" color="#000000" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">I am looking for a Python textbook that teaches about objects in the beginning AND is easy to read. &nbsp;&nbsp;I teach at a neighborhood school in Chicago. &nbsp;English is the second or third language for many of my students.</font></div>

<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Arial" size="+0" color="#000000" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">Last semester four students were studying Python mostly on their own while I teaching the class programming concepts with Alice (from Carnegie Mellon). &nbsp;The Python students used Michael Dawson's <u>Guide to Programming with Python.</u> &nbsp;It worked well for them. &nbsp;The reading level works, the games keep their interest, &nbsp;but it does not get to objects until Chapter 8.</font></div>
