I thought I was going to just skim this book because I love Lisa Congdon’s art, but it was actually a really good read! If only my child cared about chemistry…. Maybe when she’s learning it, I’ll grab this book again to help her realize how cool it is. I actually learned a ton from this book.

A beautiful guide to the elements and chemistry that is perfect for any young (or even old) scientists. This encyclopedia gives you all the information that you need to know and quickly in a succinct format. Paired with beautiful and fun illustrations, this book's information is priceless. Each page draws the eye in bright colors and explains how the elements are important to our every day lives!!
