David Garibaldi's Future Sounds is a great groove book. I also like Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials, it's a good introduction to different styles of music, haven't tried Groove Essentials 2.0 so I'm not sure about that one.
This is pretty much the idea behind Groove Essentials. You should check it out!
Rehashing what others said, incorporate their musical interests into what you're trying to teach them. Ask them to bring in some music that they enjoy and then help them work through the songs. If they have that down, play rudiments over them, let them improvise over the tracks, etc. I've found that the more I tried to "instruct" younger students, the less interested they are, so instead I think of myself as more of a guide through their natural creative process.
Edit: If I had to recommend a book, I'd probably use this guy. It's very accessible and immersive, as well as being a great foundation for a budding musician.
