I've created a small unit on king safety.

I know that teaching the peices and their movements is the most basic starting point. That puzzles are a great way to implement that, but which kind of puzzles and how can I find fun these fun more simple puzzles?
I suppose a search engine would be able to point me in the direction of a books aimed at kids, and puzzles that are fun and what not. I was just wondering who had any ideas on which books would be better, as I have never really done any research on chess other then my own game.
Anybody have thoughts or suggestions?
World Champion's Guide to Chess By Polgar has nice puzzles appropriate for beginners.
