Proofs in Mathematicsby Alexander Bogomolny - Interactive Mathematics Miscellany and Puzzles , 2013
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.

How To Write Proofsby Larry W. Cusick - California State University, Fresno , 2009
Proofs are the heart of mathematics. What is the secret? The short answer is: there is no secret, no mystery, no magic. All that is needed is some common sense and a basic understanding of a few trusted and easy to understand techniques.
