Hello i am also looking for a good book. I prefer this style of learning. Make together a sketch for example. Blink.
We type the sketch explain what is what.
Do some excersises without telling me the answers.
For example; make the led Blink long then short. Make the led Blink 3 sec and so on. Now leds add another led. Together make the new sketch. Explain, do some excersises with variations to check if you understand and add a switch. Make to gether sketch and so on.
This way i learn something. I find most tutorials or books are making a circuit upload the sketch, look IT works. This is okay for simpele sketches but more comprehensive ones i get lost because i dont understand what the code actually does. The excersises are there to check if you understand the code. I prefer a textbook "school" style. I hope this makes sense
