You don't have to be a good writer (trust me, my writing skills aren't too good either). As long as you can program on Scratch, you should be able to write him your own guide! (And it's much better impression for it shows you're doing tons of work instead of buying a book, although it does cost money which is earned by work.) But if his birthday isn't too soon, I suggest you write a book. But if his birthday is in a few days, buying one would be your best option.

Amazon allows you to preview pages inside a book, so I suggest looking through that. Personally, looking through both previews, it seems that both books are targeted for an older audiences and the text might seem to be a bit too complex for a 9-10 year old.

Another Scratch book sold through Amazon is this, and customer review on it says "This book is simple enough for elementary students to follow, yet sophisticated and engaging enough to keep even 'difficult to engage' teens excited and engaged" so that might be a better fit for your cousin... but it is on the pricey side and it has no preview so there's no way to verify what the customer said (aka, we can't see for ourselves if the book is easy-to-understand).
