Lazy Functional Programming: Learn You a Haskell for Great Good by Miran Lipovača

It's a bit long to qualify under requirement #2, so in particular I'd like to highlight chapters 11-13 as a great explanation of functors and monads. (Albeit one that requires you already grok haskell, hence the recommendation for the whole book).

I highly recommend it because it has a cute blue elephant on the front cover and a bonus monkey on the back.
