James Young ==>

If your son is really a beginner, then maybe my book might help. It's a
cartoon-illustrated family/class activity book about exploring a variety of
different math and other ideas on and off the computer.  Go to
http://www.doone.com/grt_logo_advntre.html for a description.

If his interest is intense as you describe, I think you both would be
better served by Brian Harvey's three volume set, Computer Science, Logo
Style. Take a look at the Logo Foundation web site for that.
