I love this idea, especially since I'd like ideas for taking computers to my kids' classrooms (and I've met other parents with the same goals.) I'll check into Bob Johnstone's guide and the Squeak title as well. (We're going to talk about Squeak at our next XO-Austin user group meeting, neat-o, serendipitous river of info.)
I think the kids/families/teachers audience could benefit from this dimension. I'll think about how it could "snap" in to the FM setup - is it another book, is it a chapter that we include and remix to make another book, that sort of question.
