Why read it?

1 author picked Basher Science as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love the illustrations in this book. The depictions of all of the elements are absolutely adorable. 

Simon Basher’s Pokemon-ish artwork is amazing. This is important because pictures initially pull your eyes towards a page. Then, the text comes after. Beyond the art, the vital information is presented in a middle-grade language style. This book is an excellent study tool and resource for science students or anyone interested in the periodic table.
