Books on Logo for six year olds

Try Donna Bearden's super book "1, 2, 3, my computer and me".
In the UK is it published by Prentice Hall; in the US, by Reston
Publishing, Reston, Virginia. There is also a Parent's or Teacher's
Guide that accompanies it: "The Turtle's source book" by Bearden,
K Martin and J Muller.

Try to persuade her to join either (or both)

a  British Logo User Group

   WALSALL, WS5 3RW

b  International Logo Exchange
   P O box 5686
   CHARLOTTESVILLE

For anyone else who sees this on the News: here are some other
nice texts. I am afraid this list is dated now: please feel free
to add to it. The object of putting this list here is to try to show
that Logo is not just a kid's language: it is simple, but it is not
a toy. So: A bibliography...
