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.

The Moon

Also written by Seymour Simon, The Moon is another non-fiction book, this time about nothing other than the Earth's moon. The pictures are no less than vivid and stunning and will capture the eye of any young reader. The text is clear and concise so not to put children to sleep.

This book describes how the moon was formed, the difference between the moon's craters and seas, the cycles of the moon, and it's importance to Earth.

Any book by Simon would be a great way to get young readers the knowledge they seek to gain.

Earth: Our Planet in Space

Earth: Our Planet in Space is a non-fiction book written by Seymour Simon. In this book he has astounding photos that capture childrens' eyes and information written in simple form for chilren to understand. I remember reading these book in my school library when I was in elementary school.

In this book he describes our days and night on Earth as well as our seasons. Simon also talks about the topography of this third planet in our solar system.

I would recommend this book for any young reader trying to gather knowledge on our planet or for looking up information of a basic essay. Seymour Simon is a great author for young non-fiction.
