The BookViral Review:

Complimenting her plethora of educational books, Sybrina Durant’s new beautifully illustrated and accessible offering, ‘Magical Elements of the Periodic Table’, puts parents, carers and educators in a suitable position to introduce younger children to the Periodic Table. An invaluable source of information, this unicorn-based journal takes its young reader alphabetically through 26 metals and alloys, each one being represented by its own unique unicorn.

Each letter of the alphabet provides a wealth of information, from historical facts to how the element is used in everyday life, creating an awareness of elements as part of our world and vital for our existence.

Children have the opportunity to flick through and enjoy the different personalities of the unicorns or focus on one element at a time and learn its uses in a fun way, depending on their age and ability. The elements and alloys are divided up, one on each page, creating bitesize episodes. These can be revisited again and again, with the corresponding unique unicorns ensuring some favourites are chosen!

This eye-catching book also affords the perfect opportunity for reading to young ones, as they can be guided by an adult, who can use the facts and illustrations to begin to explain the building blocks of all life, their interactions, and how our world is shaped. Useful definitions and further information, including a unicorn-themed periodic table at the end of the book offers further information for the more enquiring (or the slightly rusty).

Furthermore, ‘Magical Elements of the Periodic Table’ demonstrates that introducing complicated concepts in an engaging way at a young age is a great tactic to form foundations and create schemas for later learning.

The engaging nature of the unicorns, with their appealing colours and personalities, lends excitement to an otherwise difficult subject and aids memory, as elements are connected to each individual mythical creature- a great strategy for learning!

This colourful and informative book is unreservedly recommended for carers and educators alike.
