Grinding problems, haha! I can't answer your more specific questions, but I'll distill the resources that I have found to be most useful. The types of questions will depend on wherever you are applying and you might not even get technical questions at some places.
I would start with CTCI then, if you feel like it, move on to Elements of Programming Interviews which (I think) has more difficult problems. All the while just grind problems on leetcode. Also, make sure to practice answering these questions without coding in an IDE. I have just been using a notebook and pencil. A whiteboard works too. Before beginning any sort of coding, you should have the general algorithm down that you will use to solve the problem.
It also would be helpful to know how to implement / be familiar with the following:
Data Structures
Algorithms
OOP (define these)
Other stuff:
Finally, know Big-O complexity Big-O Cheatsheet! I'm sure there is a lot more but this should be a great start.
Good luck! :)
this will change your life
On more than one occasion the vibe i have felt while introducing my older family members to the internet is that they don't want to break their machines. I know this is anecdotal but thats the generalisation i am making.
While some old people may have created the internet and the infrastructure that it relies on today, the majority of people didn't do such work. They worked in simple jobs, like the ones you can find in Busy Town and didn't really think of anything beyond that.
I'll admit that this is all anecdotal evidence that supports my argument, but the political term "Mums and Dads" is the target audience here for these protocols (mostly the first one), and they aren't tech savvy, they know how to turn on a computer and check emails, maybe buy something off a website, but thats about it. They hear on the news about this pirating and drug buying and maybe dad knows a little about the nudes on the internet but thats about as far as it goes.
When the government acts to curb these pirates, criminals, drug dealers and smut pedlars, its the same old hard on crime position that rates well in the polls in the short term. The masses feel safer for these things, while civil libertarians will express their displeasure at having their freedoms narrowed.
Congratulations!
My kids are now adults, and I teach young children. Over the years, these are the books for very young children that I have found to have the most staying power.
Infant/Toddler/Early childhood books: (you can read these to a child under 1 year, he or she will appreciate the rhythmic sounds, and both words and pictures acquire meaning as time goes on.)
Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown (simply the best parental bonding books)
What Do People Do All Day by Richard Scarry
PeekABoo, The Jolly Postman and Each Pear Each Plum by Janet and Allan Ahlberg
All three books have engaging text and illustrations that both child and adult can appreciate.
Little Blue and Little Yellow This book, in my opinion, is a work of art on several levels. Kids never get tired of its reassurance.
No, David by David Shannon (but IMO the other David books are not nearly as good)
Caps for Sale Another book with repetitive rhythms for children, with an amusing story
Blueberries for Sal A classic that has stood the test of time, I still read this to the class every fall.
The Lion and the Mouse This is Aesop's fable, told with no words, only Jerry Pinkney's amazing illustrations. Two, three and four year olds ask for this story over and over again.
Other favorites:
The Tenth Good Thing About Barney
Ferdinand the Bull
The Cat in the Hat
Harold and the Purple Crayon
Authors to consider: Jan Brett, Shel Silverstein, Judith Viorst, E. B.White, Frank Asch, Roald Dahl.
Robert Munsch gets mixed reviews but to me, The Paperbag Princess is a must.
Could it be one of Richard Scarry's books? They sound bit similar to what you are describing.
You can see few pages from one of his books on amazon:

Elements of Programming Interviews. Personally I found this book more helpful than CtCI as its topics were more focused and relevant to the types of questions I had gotten in technical interviews.
Elements of Programming Interviews.
On Amazon it got good reviews, although I cannot understand why?
The code is literally UNREADABLE, the above code is the first code in Chapter 6, Strings

Elements of Programming Interviews Python
https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Programming-Interviews-Python-Insiders/dp/1537713949
I actually picked up this book in preparation since I'm planning do some interview questions in python pretty soon and I'd say it's well worth it. All the solutions are implemented in python, and it tells you time + space complexity and more optimal possible solutions for the questions. There is an eBook version out there as well.

>Is it worth paying that 65 dollars for those few questions
Why wouldn't you want to do hard problems?
The benefit of algoexpert.io is that the guy walks you through first the concepts (using a digital sketch pad to draw) and then the code itself - the naive solution (if applicable) followed by optimal one. That's the value proposition: maximum hand-holding to learn. I think that's worth $1/question, but your mileage may vary.
As for other advice, if you read this book cover to cover and do every exercise in it you should basically cruise through every coding portion of any technical interview.
