Cant rate this highly enough - packed with useful information for my child.
A thorough well illustrated and easy to read introduction to Chemistry. I have the Physics one too, but learnt more from this book, which I found more comprehensive. Both dad and able year 7 child got a lot out of this book.

Good book for 8 years and up
Very nice book. I’m a biochemist and my kids are interested in chemistry. Easy for my 8 year old to follow (not so much for my 6 year old yet).

Not read it yet
Looks like a great introduction to Chemistry for KS2 and above. My son prefers Horrible Science at the moment. I am hoping when he gets to Year 5, he will want to pick this book up, but so far it has not gripped his attention.

It's a great book. Kids love it.

Very nice book for curious kids. My 12 year old loved it. Concepts of chemistry explained very well More importantly application of chemistry is explained. This convinces the child why he / she has to learn.

This book gives easy-to-understand but reasonably accurate/precise explanations of all sorts of topics in chemistry. Works as a decent chemistry "spine" for homeschoolers. Like other books in this "What's X all about?" series, there are copious illustrations among the rather small and dense, but again fairly simple, text. The text is not just a series of boxes, but generally does follow and elaborate some line of thought. Generally what you'd expect from an Usborne general intro.

This book is extremely good. It's packed full of useful information and lots of great facts. My daughters had a lot of joy when o reading it and I would definitely recommend it!
