The Disappearing Spoon: Young Readers Edition by Sam Kean

3.0

Lots of stories and information about the periodic table of the elements including scientists and how they discovered different elements and ideas and information about the elements, including how they designed the table itself. Young readers edition - I remember when the adult book came out because I wanted to buy it for my dad who is/was a chemist. I was fascinated then and still am now. Some of the information still went over my head even in this version, but was still very interesting. I think the science was accurate. Definitely seems like he did his research. Liked the charts and stuff, but seemed like there could have been a few more pictures and things to help make things even more clear? Appreciated that he included some people that were not very well known. Could help get more kids interested in science which is important.
