As an example in German, I found a Python book aimed at middle- and high-schoolers written in German, Python für Kids. You can look inside it on the Amazon website: http://www.amazon.com/Python-f%C3%BCr-Kids/dp/3826609514#reader_3826609514

Oh but why isn't it named Python für Kinder? :-)

Probably to be "cool" for the "kids". Why is a mobile phone in Germany called a "Handy" ?

And why, oh why, do we have to buy our bread rolls at a "Backshop" nowadays... Georg
