Eric Lippert's blog series on Monads[1] follows this approach and is very effective in teaching the concepts behind Monads. He starts out with standard concepts from C# that are Monads and shows how they're implemented and what they have in common. It is very approachable for an object-oriented programmer who's curious about functional programming.
