What people on Hacker News said
My favorite book, that I strongly recommend despite the high price of around $100 in the US is "Mathematical Proofs" by Chartrand.
It covers proofs in set theory, number theory, combinatorics, calculus, and group theory at a very basic level.
The books you linked seem to cover less of those topics, so I think Chartrand et al. is a more gentle intro to different branches of upper division math.
