I would check with your Great Plains consultant to ensure that any third party tools are updated for 2010.
Books - the 2010 books are just starting to come out in full force. A few have been out a bit, but remember those were likely based on beta and RC versions. While the GUI has changed quite a bit from 2007, most of the concepts remain the same, so a 2007 book would be helpful as well. Installing 2010 is really simple. It's what you do after that can be confusing. For the newbie, the more difficult concepts I believe are the interactions and limitations of content databases, site collections and sites. Spend some time on Technet trying to grasp those. Install a single server installation (3 clicks is all it takes) on a test server. That will help you relate to the terms. My biggest recommendation is to work on a governance plan. Not doing so, IMHO, is asking for trouble. Sharepoint sites have the potential to grow unontrolled. Technet also has some virtual labs you can work through. BTW, in 2010 it is not MOSS anymore. The "free" version is SharePoint Foundation. The enterprise version is just SharePoint. I believe GP works with either. So you need to decide if the enterprise features will be needed. Enterprise comes with Excel services, Visio Services, something with Access (haven't toyed with it yet), ability to index across sites and file shares and more out of the box work flow templates.
