I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good book
that gets the
basic stuff out of the way (what is the CPU, memory, storage,
etc. what are different the parts called, etc.) and maybe another one
that teaches an intro to BASIC written for a very young reader?
Most of the Usborne books from the 80s are available on Usborne's web
site as PDFs -- "Simple BASIC" (for younger readers) or "Introduction to
Computer Programming" (for slightly older readers) might fit the bill:

(My copy of "Write Your Own Adventure Programs" lives on my bookshelf at
work next to Knuth and K&R...)
