I've found "Snake Wrangling for Kids" http://code.google.com/p/swfk/ by Jason Biggs an easy, fun and understandable free e-book. I also have started reading "Head First Programming" from O'Reilly which teaches programming using Python. I have others also but those two have been the easiest to read. YouTube also has many tutorials...some quite good.
