Ready to learn the magic of science? Metals and all the other elements from the periodic table make everything seem magical. You can see it everywhere: in buildings, transportation, communications, medicines, and even in the food you eat! All technology and everything that makes life modern come from the magical elements in the earth, water, and the air.

Think of it like this, “No Metal – No Magic…and No Tech-no-lo-gy.” You can learn about all that stuff in this book called The Magical Elements of the Periodic Table Presented Alphabetically by The Metal Horn Unicorns. Twenty-six techno-magical elements are presented from A to Z by the magical metal horn unicorn tribe from Unimaise.

Every element page includes:

*where the featured element comes from*

*when it was discovered*

*scientific info about the element*

*everyday uses for it*

*a bunch of interesting facts*

*a unicorn who wields its magical powers representing each element*

 

The book also has an amazing unicorn-themed periodic table plus special pages featuring elemental compounds and alloys. Now, that’s Techno-Magical!

This is such a fascinating book. It may be geared toward younger readers, but this older reader loved it and learned a lot about the different elements that make up the periodic table. So many interesting facts about the different elements and how they combine to create other metals and alloys. I would have loved a book like this when I was younger and learning chemistry. I think it would have stuck with me a little bit more.

I love the illustrations in this book, too. By creating unicorns to represent the various elements, it will appeal to the younger reader and make it fun to read. I bet my 8-year-old niece would love this book just for all the facts she can learn and incorporate into her education. She has a curious mind.

I also shared this book with my sister, who teaches second grade, while she was visiting me. I think she might have learned just as much as I did by reading through the elements and found it to be quite fascinating. She thought it would be helpful to a student who needs a bit more creativity to learn different things. We both agreed that this book was well researched.

At the end of the book, there is a periodic table that is color-coded to remind us what each element is and how it comes into play. This would be a great book for a classroom. I bet some of my teacher siblings could use this in their classroom. Plus, the author has many additional resources to help share the whimsy and education of the elements.

There are several unicorns that might have been my favorites. I liked Cornum, the brass-horned unicorn, because of my love for music and my band days when I played several brass instruments. I also liked Dr. Zinko’s Zinc-horn for its healing magic. And Vana, the Vanadum-horned unicorn the ability to shield others from extreme temperatures. I’m not sure what is considered extreme, but it is getting hot here, and I would love to be shielded from that.

This is a book that could be read over and over because we all know that we miss things the first few times or don’t remember them.

Highly recommended for everyone, and give it 5 paws up.

    I’d definitely like Vana the unicorn to hang out with me for a while. Fun review! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
