I found this one to be good, especially when targeted at teenagers:
"Own Your Space--Keep Yourself and Your Stuff Safe Online" Digital
Book for Teens by Linda McCarthy

If you are teaching Enterprise or college-level end-users, I suggest
purchasing ACM membership which will give you access to the Security
Awareness videos from ElementK. The SafariBooksOnline library
subscription also contains numerous high-quality books and videos on
the subject.
