A couple of sources over the web: (a) http://wdjoyner.com/teach/book/ and (a bit harder and for group theory only) (b) http://www.opensourcemath.org/books/gaglione-gp-thry/ (pdf: http://www.opensourcemath.org/books/gaglione-gp-thry.pdf) might fit the bill. Next level up from (a) might be (c) A First Course in Abstract Algebra, by John B. Fraleigh, though there are lots of choices here.
