We have "The Kids' Book Of Chess" by Harvey Kdder. This came with the board and playing pieces. The board has the basic instructions running along the top and bottom as well so you can refer to that while playing instead of having to constantly refer to the book.

It's a beginner's book of rules and strategies as well as a beginner's chess

We just received a copy of Lego Chess the other day,
and Sarah is really enjoying it. We haven't broken out
the chess board yet because it's hard to keep the
babies out of it right now; but she's learning and
enjoying.

Searching for Bobby Fischer has a cool scene where he has set his Lego men up
like chessmen and is working out moves before he even owns a chess set.
I need to buy a copy of that movie.
