But my view is that it is YOU, not your children, who need the reference book. Logo, by its very nature, is not a language which children should learn from a book, no matter how "high quality." It's a language they should pick up by experimenting under the guidance of a teacher who know the language thoroughly and also knows the capabilities and interests of his/her individual children.
