   Kolmogorov - Fomin: Introductory Real Analysis. Not for school kids though.

   There's a Dover book called "Introductory Real Analysis" by Kolmogorov & Fomin. It's one of Richard Silverman's translations from the Russian. It's got a few typos in it and the feel is a little old-timey, but the mathematical content is beautifully laid out. Read it for culture and a look at the bigger picture. It should be a good complement to Tao's book.

   I've spoken with more than one person who made it through Real Analysis intact by reading through "Introductory Real Analysis" by Kolmogorov and Fomin. There's a Dover version that you can probably find for $12 used... It was where I started, but I know several people who found it invaluable after struggling with other texts.

   Introductory Real Analysis (Dover Books on Mathematics) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0486612260/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_a62T...

   Come to think of it, there are a lot of good Dover books on mathematics.

   I have not, but you can verify for yourself - https://github.com/nika-skybytska/fa/tree/master/books has a copy of Komogorov/Fomin's text that's well known vs Introductory Real Analysis in his translation available on the Internet Archive. A cursory glance at the respective TOCs shows that there is reordering.

   First couple of chapters match up, then it diverges heavily.
