Personally, I would suggest going the "The Little Schemer" and "The

nice "hands-on" introduction to the theoretical concepts that SICP digs
into.
Actually, this isn't a bad idea. I have gone through "The Little
Schemer" and now understand recursion much better. I'm still trying to
grok the Y-combinator though. That is the near final thing the book covers.
I have "The Seasoned Schemer" but haven't yet dug into it.
I also have "Simply Scheme" which I have read through the first few
chapters of. It seems to focus on more practical application issues than
SICP which is a lot of theory. It bills itself as the book to read to
familiarize yourself with the basics of Scheme before diving into SICP.
