Isn't the How to Design Programs 2e (HTDP) book a kind of successor to SICP.

HTDP is (quite a bit) easier, and only really derived from the first few chapters of SICP if that. The course I recommend as a pre-req is actually based of HTDP, I think it really helps with the much more comprehensive SICP
