Kid Beginner Chess Books

Any suggestions? Look for something very basic starting with how to move the pieces for age 11.

I was looking at those Robert Snyder books, but read that he is in jail for child molestation.

Craig Pritchett's Chess For Rookies is a good starter.

But the best from all accounts is Chess for Kids by Richard James.

My favorite was Chernev's "An Invitation To Chess". However, I don't think it has been translated into algebraic.

Snyder not only is a pervert, he isn't that great of a player.
