I haven't been able to find any good information about Springer, though according to the above link Selsam worked with Asimov on his "How Did We Find Out" series of science texts for young readers. The only one of those titles I've found is How Did We Find Out About Atoms?. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for the dinosaur entry in the series.
