Niklaus Wirth had no problems to introduce his students to compiler
construction with a book of 94 pages:


    http://www.inf.ethz.ch/~wirth/books/Compilerbau0/


The book contains the complete source code of a compiler and an
interpreter. Sample programs like this described in detail:


const m=7, n= 85;
var x,y,z,q,r ;
begin
    x:=m; y:= n; z:=0;
    while y> 0 do
        begin
        if odd y then z:= z + x;
        x:= 2*x; y:= y/ 2;
    end;


You can teach this course in 1 semester. Here are some other links to
PL/0 and PASCAL-S:
