You can always check out Object Oriented Analysis and Design by Head First (http://www.headfirstlabs.com/books/hfooad/). Their books are more about learning the concepts than the theory so they employ a lot of games and learning activities. They are a lot more interesting than a textbook on OO, even if the format seems a little juvenile at time (I mean they have word-searches and crosswords with key terms).

That's a terrible book (and series) to learn from, the level of visual clutter on each page distracts from the actual task of learning anything. I had a copy of "Head First Design Patterns" and after only a few pages I thought my eyes were going to fall out.
I found Bruce Eckel's "Thinking In Java" useful back in day to learn OO programming and concepts. Much of what you learn is transferable to other languages.
