In this unique alphabet book, members of the Elemental Dragon Clan present 26 Magical Elements of the Periodic Table in alphabetical order. Each member of the clan has an element tipped tail. They also have magical powers based on the properties of their metals. There are no more perfect groups than unicorns and dragons to familiarize yourself with elements from the Periodic Table. Their theme is: “No Metal — No Magic. . .and No Technology.”
In this book, Antz starts out the book by introducing the very necessary metal, Antimony on his element page. Zora rounds out the alphabet by presenting scientific facts and other fun information about the metal, Zirconium, on her elemental page. In all, readers will get some great insight into the properties of 26 elements from the periodic table. Each page is full of amazing facts and tons of FUN. There’s a Magical Elemental themed periodic table, too!
This unique book will help tweens, teens and anyone else quickly absorb the elements of the Periodic Table.
REMEMBER. . .
No Metal,
No Magic…
And No Technology.
It’s Techno-Magical!

Much like the first book with the unicorns, this book is filled with facts relayed in a fun way and on a level that any younger child could understand. I loved learning all of these facts and could have used a book like this while taking chemistry. Ok, it might be geared toward younger children, but the facts, the atomic structure, and the uses are information that anyone could put to use.
Like the Unicorn Elemental book, I read through this book with my sister, the teacher. She had the same feelings as she did with the unicorn book, that it was well laid out, easy to read, and could be understood by younger children.
The book is colorful and filled with fun images to make learning about the elements fun. Here are some of my favorite facts about the different elements:
Europium is used in Euro banknotes to make them harder to fake.
Only 4 women have discovered elements on the periodic table. Francium is one of those elements.
Indium is included in a list made by the US Government of the 35 most important minerals.
I have a hard time choosing between the two books as to which might be my favorite. I really don’t think I can choose!
This book is one my great-nephew would love just for the dragons! Plus, he would learn a little bit about the elements, too. He may only be 5, but that is never too young to start learning!
We give this book 5 paws up and recommend it to any young budding scientist.

Thanks for your thoughtful review. You’re right about the pictures being appealing to young and old. My philosophy is that the picture draws you in. It makes you interested to see what the subject is all about. It’s my hope that the little kids will be inspired by the pictures and will want to know more and more and more about chemistry and its role in our world. Most kids don’t really know that it is what makes the technology of the world today so fascinating. Thanks for introducing Magical Elements of the Periodic Table Presented Alphabetically by the Elemental Dragons to your readers. I appreciate you. 🙂

Great review! I can see kids having both books and comparing the unicorn and dragon presentations and factoids — more ways for fun learning and reinforcement. Thanks for sharing!
