Alfie Kohn, CooperativeGames.com, and Animal Town

January 14, 2011 by Suzanne Lyons

Wow! We are alluded to in the classic bestseller “No Contest, The Case Against Competition” by Allfie Kohn. That’s a great honor! The Afterword to the 20th Anniversary Edition of No Contest explains that cooperative games are a bright spot in the current landscape. Then Kohn mentions Animal Town as a source. We are Animal Town’s direct decendent . . . Animal Town was founded by visionary Ken Kolsbun, then changed to Child and Nature, now owned and operated by us (Suzanne Lyons & family) as CooperativeGames.com. Thank You Alfie Kohn! As always, Thank You Ken and Jann Kolsbun!
