The BouncingAtomsMorph is not loaded in the new images.

The image of the book is an old one and you should get (may be I'm wrong) an
old vm for example it should work on a Squeak3.9 VM.

Let us know if you have any other problems. This is try true that such problems
are annoying but we do not have the resources to
write a new book, develop pharo and maintain the old book.
Did you have a look at the pharocast because this is also a good way to learn.
