Are there books renowned for introducing category theory in a very accessible way? An emphasis on the point of view that categories generalize preorders would be especially appreciated.

My goal is to be able to read Categories, Allegories in the end.

How about Locally presentable and accessible categories? It even has the word ‘accessible’ in the title! (I jest!) – Zhen Lin Apr 09 '13 at 22:23
