Not the best way to learn, but entertaining.

I found this book extremely useful as I helped a friend through an advanced statistics class. I am a very visual learner, and tend to draw concepts to help me understand, but having the drawings done and ready to share during my tutoring session saved time. I think that there was actually a second advantage, as the cartoons were tried and I didn't have to spend time thinking of good examples.

This is the statistics reference book I keep with me at work. It's still the best, simplest guide I've ever found.

The book has simple cartoon with basic explanation of statistics concepts. The book didn't teach me anything new, but helped me refresh/reinforce my understanding. I have to admit that this is not for absolute beginners, but if you are willing to to spend some time amusing yourself with stats, you'll enjoy this book.
