The Sun

The last informational non-fiction book I read was The Sun by Seymour Simon. The photos in this book were even greater than that of those in his other books I read. Each page had close ups and diagrams of the sun that any young reader would be intrigued by. The text is large and simple to read as well.

Simon describes various aspects of the sun including nuclear explosions, boiling gases, superheated gases, and the layers of the sun. He doesn't stop there as the book goes on to talk about sunspots, solar storms, and solar flares that are hundreds of times bigger than our planet.

I would encourage young readers to use this book to help satisfy any hunger for information on the solar system and our sun.
