Kate,
I was just cruising some old
http://mailgate.supereva.com/comp/comp.lang.logo/msg07316.html discussions,
and came upon this (right along side a reference to your Chaos: Making a
New....). I don't know either one, but this sounds close to what you are
asking for... Thought I'd pass it on.

Hello All,
Does anyone know this book?
The Computational Beauty of Nature: Computer Explorations of Fractals,
Chaos, Complex Systems, and Adaptation
by Gary William Flake It contains a chapter on turtle graphics.
I am trying to explain chaos and the butterfly effect to middle school
students. Would this book be appropriate? Do you have a better suggestion?
Some of you may remember that a while ago you help me make the Koch Curve
which I found in Chaos Making a New Science by James Gleick. That book is too
heavy for the kids I have in mind.
Thank you,
Kate Mikula
