I agree, the Robots book is pretty damn good for beginners.  It helped
me demonstrate to my girlfriend (who's a first grade teacher) what
object oriented programming is.

Other books I've enjoyed:
-Mark Guzdial's two squeak books.
-Smalltalk-80: The Language and Its Implementation  By Adele Goldberg
and David Robson

HTH,
