Today is the Cantonese translation of the book All About Satellites and Space Travel, David Dietz (1958).
The Cantonese is translated for me by Google Translate so I apologize for the mistakes.
I am always looking for these children's books that got translated into other languages. This one is interesting to me since it seem like the children's level material is represented as a way for children to learn more about the future of space travel. It does not look at all like a children's book.
The book title and citation information seems to translate as:
Dez, David (sp?). Space Travel. Translated from English by Lo Tiande. Garden Road, Hong Kong : World Today. (135 p.) 1960.
TRANSLATED Back Cover: "Traveling to space is no longer a dream. Today's youth have the hope of traveling in the boundless universe. You should be prepared. David Dietz is a world-renowned author of popular science readings, and has won the Pulitzer Prize for scientific articles for many years for Scribes-Howard newspapers. This book uses simple text to describe the process of human study of space, with a popular and detailed introduction to the principles and development of tools used for space travel such as rockets, artificial satellites, and spacecraft."
Here are some scans of the 1958 book:
