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 haven't gotten started yet. 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.
