I agree with Paul's advice about the size of the fingers. I've found that age 9 or 10 is usually a good age to start.

Keith Stein's book is good, and I also like David Pino's The Clarinet and Clarinet Playing. Pino is a very loyal student of Keith Stein, although his embouchure advice is slightly different. Pino also has a great chapter about teaching others the clarinet.

If you're interested in ideas about teaching embouchure, Bruce Pearson also has some good advice.

Michelle Gingras has her Clarinet Secrets books which are good, and you can also view her podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/clarinet-secrets/id262672700?mt=2
