Thanks to all who answered my first request for suggestions for teaching
computer science to first year students.  

Now, is anyone familiar with either of these books:

1.  Abelson & Sussman, "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs"
(MIT press)

2. Miller & Miller, "Programming by Design: A first course in structured
programming" (Wadsworth)

? 

Thanks again (I'll post a summary when I've decided what to do),
Joanne
