Personal Review: The Basher Science: Periodic Table by Simon
Basher
We checked this book out from my seven year old son's school library
earlier this month and read it through in just a couple of days. He was
thrilled with the descriptions of the elements and how some were radical
and others mischievous and like to cause trouble. For days he continually
wanted to talk about how the elements did this or that and was describing
them back to me. He went on and on about how much he would like the

book until I promised him that he would get at least one science book for
Christmas. He got this one and another that is more text book styled.
The phrasing of the book is completely geared toward bringing the
elements to life. The elements each have a cartoon character type of
symbol and a description of its properties. There is also a poster in the
back of the book which I will have laminated for him.
Every time I look at this book I wonder why nobody thought to make
chemistry exciting when I was in school. If you want to encourage a
curious mind to learn more about chemistry and the world around them,
this book is a very good place to start. We are also getting the rest of the
series.
