My Thoughts

Magical Elements of the Periodic Table Presented Alphabetically by the Elemental Dragons is the second book in the Magical Elements series. It is not necessary to have read the first one to appreciate this volume.

Aimed at kids in the middle grades, this book provides an in-depth look at 26 elements of the periodic table (well, really 25 plus an isotope) each presented by a magical dragon whose name shares the element’s first initial and whose power is defined by what the element does. It’s a clever way of disseminating real information without making it seem intimidating or overwhelming.

As a fantasy fan myself, I appreciated the artwork and the use of magic and dragons to make learning the elements more fun. I loved that they each had a unique look and personality. As a science geek, I enjoyed that the author gave some practical uses for each element.

Also worthy of note is the glossary of terms in the back of the book, and the links to the publisher’s archive of enrichment activities for teachers who use this book in their classrooms.

Overall, this is a great way of introducing kids to chemical elements, and I’m a bit envious = where was this when I was in middle school?

Goes well with: a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, cut in triangles, and chocolate milk.
