Look this is silly. The book mentioned above is the definitive reference
book on C but it is not a book from which to learn to program in C.
Try learning to program in Python from the Python Language Reference
Manual.

What you are saying is correct. "The C Programming Language" assumes
basic familiarity with programming concepts. It is NOT a book you want
to do ground-up teaching from when you are dealing with students that
have never programmed before.
If you are trying to teach C and basic programming concepts at the same
time, there are very few books out there that take care of that
demographic. One of them that I found that does is "C How To Program",
ISBN #0-13-226119-7.
