I had a couple of those!

The one I most used though I can't recall the title. Small book, green cover, probably geared specifically towards "IBM" BASIC (i.e. BASICA/GW-BASIC). Same idea, as far as learning BASIC for kids by typing in short programs and games. Maybe I'll find it buried at my parents' house somewhere sometime.

Sometimes when I get depressed about kids these days learning Javascript as their first language, I remember that I started with GW-BASIC and I turned out ok. :)
