"Storytelling Alice", by Wanda Dann, et. al. The Alice bible - very
accessible for all students.
FYI, Alice 3 - currently out as a private release beta can actually be
exported as Java code which will make a good transition if students
take both courses.
No suggestions for Java books. I don't use one. Tried, but nothing
fits the bill.
