Re: StarSqueak (was: Bongo a Java for kids) | Squeak
Folks,

...and another book about StarLogo is comming according with Amazon.com - 
Adventures in Modeling: Exploring Complex, Dynamics Systems with StarLogo - by 
Vanessa Colella, Eric Klopfer and Mitch Resnick.
I am waiting StarSqueak to have a lot of fun with it too ;)

Cheers,

Antonio Barros
