I've had this on my "to read" list for such a long time, and now the libraries have combined thought it was time to get it. It's a fab book for kids who want to know a bit of chemistry without much theory to bog it down. Really colourful and full of trivia and interesting stuff. Enjoyed it.

I'm reading this book for school, I need to have read a science book. This book is about the earth elements...it is very long. For school, yes, it is interesting. For fun, not so much.
