This is not entirely true.  Many will tell you to learn C++ without
worrying about C.  I always recommend to new students learning C++ as an
object oriented language which seems to be how programming will be done.
C, in my opinion, can teach you some bad habits if the purpose is to go
into OOP.

Anyway, for the original poster:
Some good introductory books on C++:
1.  C++ Interactive Course, by Lafore. Waite Group Press.
This book has its starting point Classes and Objects.  No C, and no Pascal.
 
2.  C++ Primer Plus. 2nd Edition.  by Prata.  Waite Group Press.
3.  C++ How To Program.  by Deitel and Deitel.  Prentice Hall.
     An Excellent book for beginners.

In addition, two references:
1.  The C++ Programming Language. 2nd ed.  by Stroustrup.  Addison Wesley.
2.  C++, The Complete Reference.  2nd Ed.  by Shildt.  McGraw Hill.
