Fantastic (12/12 people found this helpful)
My son is autonomously educated and recently expressed an interest in chemistry so I bought this book. It is so colourful and packed with info in little chunks that my son (who is 6) has eaten up the information and moved on very quickly to explore even more complicated stuff. It gives historical information on scientists and their discoveries, the importance to us of the elements, and has many areas of chemistry study: pigments, poisons (a favourite :-O ), the atmosphere, fireworks etc. There is lots of info on the elements to start of a budding chemist and is a totally absorbing, thoroughly accessible book. I never realised chemistry was this interesting! I totally recommend it.
