Handbook of Mathematical Proof
by Edward D. Kim
Publisher: American Mathematical Society 2023
Number of pages: 181
Description:
This can be used for an intro to proofs course, or a reference in a proof-based course. Designing any guide or text on mathematical proof leads to a discussion of sets first or propositions first. We introduce a little of each first, and then constantly bring the discussion back to categorizing what each kind of thing is, with emphasis on mathematical language.

Proofs in Mathematicsby Alexander Bogomolny - Interactive Mathematics Miscellany and Puzzles
I'll distinguish between two broad categories. The first is characterized by simplicity. In the second group the proofs will be selected mainly for their charm. Most of the proofs in this book should be accessible to a middle grade school student.
