4.0 out of 5 stars
An introduction to facts about the sun.,
By R. D. Allison (dallison@biochem.med.ufl.edu) (Gainesville, Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sun (Isaac Asimov's Library of the Universe) (Library Binding)
This is an excellent book for children describing some of the latest known facts about the Sun and serves as an introduction and suplementary text for young children. This book is a part of Isaac Asimov's Library of the Universe he started for children in the late 1980's that is supposed to be updated on a regular basis. However, Dr. Asimov died in 1992 and others are trying to continue the work. The book has since been updated in Asimov's New Library of the Universe and retitled "The Sun and Its Secrets" by Asimov and Francis Reddy.
