A chemistry book built as comic strips, each one answering a question a child would ask. The questions are the ones that come up anyway — why muscles ache after exercise, why sweat tastes salty, whether every metal is solid at room temperature, whether people can make an element. Each section opens with the question, gives a short explanation, shows it as a colour comic strip with cartoon characters, and leaves the fact worth keeping in a Tips box alongside.

What it explains

  • The elements — a first pass at the periodic table: the one metal that is liquid, the gases you breathe, why gold is precious.
  • Reactions — the fizzing reactions the cover leads with, and why gold does not rust or react.
  • The air — which gas there is most of, and which come next.
  • The chemistry of your body — muscles, sweat, blood, and why a thyroid needs iodine.
  • Made by people — how scientists first made an element in a laboratory instead of finding it.

Who it suits

  • Ages 7–12, especially children who like comics more than textbooks.
  • Families looking for a screen-free follow-up to a child's science question.

Good to know

  • Text is in English.
  • Comic-style, full-colour illustrations.
  • A reading book, not an experiment kit — any activity a child tries at home should be supervised by an adult.
  • This is the same book as our listing My First Chemistry Adventure, sold here under its cover title, The Wacky Chemistry Lab.
