I wish I had this last year when I was teaching the periodic table. The images are fresh, and easily laid out for young learners to comprehend. I especially loved how the full pages of elements (including a very colorful, easy to read periodic table) were arranged so it wasn't cut off in the binding. Would use this in a high school or a middle school classroom, easily.

Thank you Adrian Dingle and Netgalley for the beautiful eARC. The above is my honest review.
