Sun and Moon (1970), The Planets (1969), The Stars (1969)

These are the starting books in the 6 book "First Interest in Space series."

While light on manned spacecraft content there are a number of nice space related illustrations.

 I like this illustration of the many kinds of suns.

Illustrations of an alien planet in another solar system. Kind of mind-blowing for a kid in elementary school.
