Yes, I read them at that age, too.
These (and whole series of titles [but what series?]) were available in our school library. They had beautiful color illustrations and the books were hardcover. They probably came out in the 40s and 50s in this format.
These were wonderful books. Perhaps they were abridged, but they got me started on a life-time of reading.
They're definitely for children (in that format) - and if one is the right child at the right time.
