Basic Concepts of Algebraic Topology (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)

This is a unique book and I don't know of any other like it. It is targeted towards undergrads and I was able to read it after having only taken one semester courses in topology and algebra. The appendices are incredible useful, especially the one on algebra. As someone who came to this book having only been exposed to rings in my algebra course, I was able to quickly get up to speed on groups by simply reading the appendix. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who has some exposure to topology and algebra and wants to learn some basic algebraic topology. It will help you build intuition and prepare you for a more advanced book like Hatcher.
