The Sun

This revised edition of The Sun by Seymour Simon uses full-color photographs to introduce the star at the heart of our solar system. Readers learn about the nuclear reactions taking place deep inside the sun and the churning layer of hot gas visible at its surface.

Simon, a former teacher with more than twenty years in the classroom, has written over 250 books and is known for making science accessible and enjoyable for young readers. The book closes with an author's note, a glossary, and an index to help readers look up terms and continue exploring.

The title is aligned with the Common Core, Next Generation Science, and STEM standards, making it a fit for classroom use as well as independent reading.
