A fave. Loved the bright colors.

I love this book, and my daughter loves it, especially the photos. My only complaint is that I'm not sure about the design choice of dedicating a whole page to say "Jump over 'J'" or "Quick! Go past 'Q'" rather than making those parts smaller and devoting more book space to bigger photos of the elements, vs having smaller photos of several elements sharing a page. Aside from that, it's a fantastic book for young learners! I highly recommend it.

As a chemistry professor, I just had to buy this while I was perusing Theodore Gray's website, especially since there was a sale on the autographed copies! I have samples of of nine of the twenty-three elements listed (since no element names start with "J,"Q," or "W" [although tungsten's chemical symbol is W]) to give to my son when he's older.

It would have been nice if there were little descriptions about each element, but instead there's not much in this book

[Cara Byrne · Rating 2 out of 5]

Unlike _My First Elements_, which provides some information about each element, this one just presents a different element for each letter of the alphabet.
