Great read and layout especially for dyslexia as lots of images.
Excellent book and well laid out to keep the readers interest. Great for my son who as a dyslexic, was tasked with not only knowing what each of the first 20 names were and their corresponding symbol but also had to spell each correctly which is no mean feat as a dyslexic! Very well laid out and written in easy to read and understand language. Impressed!

Interesting Wee Book!
I was a Chemistry Teacher for my sins! This is a cracking wee book for your child/grandchild. Simple wee game take the Symbols of the Elements and see what words you can make! C= CARBON + Ar=Argon etc Get' them started on the best Subject and get them early! How do Fireworks get their different colours and BANGS!!!

Fab book for any future scientist or enquiring mind....
Bought this for my 8 year old son who has absolutely devoured it and memorised huge number of the facts! It is brilliantly presented without too much text on the page and with interesting facts and illustrations. We have had fun reading it together as I found it interesting too.

Nice...but...
Nice book but there are a few bloopers that makes the book just around average. I still gave 5 stars to it just for the sake that it introduces chemical elements to children, in a very interesting way.
