One suggestion is Squeak News from Tansel Ersavas, a monthly ezine on CD-ROM 
that is well worth subscribing to.

http://www.squeaknews.com

There is a commitment to including articles for newbies in each issue.

Squeak News itself is a Squeak application; it runs in Squeak and you can 
experiment with things as you read.
