5.0 out of 5 stars A great kids book based upon systems thinking, August 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Billibonk and the Big Itch (Paperback)

If you have read Peter Senge's THE FIFTH DISCIPLINE and wished there was a book about systems thinking that you could share with kids, then your wish has come true.

BILLIBONK & THE BIG ITCH is a kids book with a plot that relies upon the principles of organizational learning to carry the action. The story is engaging and fast-paced. Like all really good kids books, this will appeal to grown ups, too. THE BIG ITCH is the second book that features Billibonk the Elephant and Frankl the Mouse. This book demonstrates that the concepts of learning organizations and systems thinking can be readily understood by young people.

Hats off to Philip Ramsey! He has given kids, parents, and everyone who cares about kids a book that is fun to read and can open our minds to the possibilities of sustainable systems and learning organizations.
