OMG I had a lot of childhood memories while writing this post :)
While The Complete Book of Space Travel was aimed at teen and pre-teen boys, the 1958 book Exploring Space was looking for a younger audience.
EXPLORING SPACE (A Little Golden Book) by Rose Wyler, Copyright 1958 by Simon and Schuster 1964 . NASA has a discussion on its web page :)
The above children's book is described as a "true story about the rockets of
today and a glimpse of the rockets that are to come." The rockets of "today"
were those of 1958, the advent of the space program. The narrative speaks
of future rockets flying (orbiting) around the world in an hour. Why is
this unlikely? How much time should the flight around the world require?
Below are sample pages from the book,
