Rarely have I felt the urge to fly out of my building and grab any random guy on the street and exclaim can you see how cool this is, can you please.

That happened to me when I read The Little Schemer.

(The other time was when I saw a Hasui)

After reading the little schemer, I bought two more copies just to lend out to people. It's that good.

With continuation(s) in this follow up:

The Seasoned Schemer

And then The Reasoned Schema.. that one will blow your mind and wonder why sadly PROLOG didn’t take off

Not to forget The Little Prover, The Little Typer, and The Little Learner.

One happy Little family.

And Grandpa, The Little LISPer

and cousins, The Little MLer

and A Little Java, a Few Patterns

Now I wonder if the cover of The Little Learner is a reference to The Turing Omnibus..

The New Turing Omnibus: Sixty-Six Excursions in Computer Science

by A.K. Dewdney

Had the same feeling after reading Little Schemer.

What a weird book.
