When I was just learning to fold, John Montroll's Teach Yourself Origami was a great resourse.
Montoll's other books are also ordered simple to complex, and are great for progressing your skill. I highly reccomend these books for learning origami. Some of his books are African Animals in Origami, North American Animals in Origami, and Prehistsoric Origami. He has many others too (including a few books for beginners specifically), I'd look around on the web. Most of his books are published by Dover.

Kunihiko Kasahara's Creative Origami is full of fun simple models, and by the same author there are other books including Origami Omnibus (paperfolding for everyone) that I also enjoy. Some of those books are not in print I do believe. :(

I do not know of many more simple origami books but I hope this helped you find a good resourse.
