 If you are interested in teaching programming to beginners, of any age, in
 any language, I strongly recommend that you check out Brian Harvey's
 "Computer Science Logo Style" (MIT Press, 3 volumes). They are exceptionally
 clear, very well organized (Harvey has been teaching introductory computing
 at Berkeley for the past twenty years), and are challenging without being
 intimidating.  Maybe if we ask nicely, he'll do a Python version... :-)
