I’m not a kid, but was told this JS kids book could be a good even for adults new to coding.

Cute cover image, maybe not super accurate to the experience of developing in JavaScript though.

Actually, no, fairly accurate. Cat's only happy because they've barely gotten started started and isn't up to their whiskers in last minute hacks and antipatterns. I mean for the size of projects kids will realistically build it's probably fine, but even they will eventually reach a point where it all falls apart because JS doesn't at all encourage disciplined programming.
