That is a strange ... rule? ... construct?
However, especially since it's a children's book, I would not change it.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Peculiarity on purpose
I am working on one of the Louis Slobodkin children's books (they are really
fun to read!), and notice something very odd. When an ellipsis is at the end f
the line, it is the usual three periods. However, when mid-sentence, it is a
space period space period space and I cannot decide if for readability it is
permissible to place a currently acceptable ellipsis or if it is like a
misspell that needs to be retained as in print. It will be very annoying to
audio or Braille readers, I would think...
