Great book, but the purist part of me dies every time I read it...

Reviewed in Australia on 23 September 2018

This book is great and you will love it. If you haven’t heard of IUPAC please stop reading here so you can finish reading this on a high.

My gripe is one that 99% of the readers would probably overlook, though a few of you may understand. I just don’t get why the authors didn’t use the standard IUPAC/CPK colouring of atoms: hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen! This surely wouldn’t have escaped your attention and just can’t understand why you wouldn’t have followed them, unless you thought they weren’t ‘fun enough’?! How did you screw this up so bad?!

How cool would it have been to follow up this book with a molecular model kit that actually matched the colours. It would have meant basic memorisation about colouring and number of bonds would have been factually relevant too! Why Chris..... why?!? For the love of the Chemistry children!!! This oversight has me on the hinge of literally Breaking Bad...

The format doesn't work

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 December 2018

This concept just doesn't work. To get my five year-old to read it, I had to tell him that we'd been hired to check a book for babies to make sure everything in it was right. Otherwise, he was going to refuse to read a card-format book with 'for babies' written on the front.

But some of the words were rather tricky for him to read: "combining", "medicines", "certain". I think expecting anyone younger to read it is expecting too much. So, what age is this book actually aimed at?

Then how much about organic chemistry can you really fit onto 24 card faces each with one cartoon and 3-9 words per face? The choice as to what to include is all wrong at any level, but especially for a small child.

There's no attempt to weave a story through it, there are no characters and so many missed opportunities. For example, there's a sketch of a methane molecule. The lead character (which the book doesn't have) ought to be farting on this page then kids would be in hysterics and learn something. Instead it's boring and the content flies past without reaching its target.

A brilliant book for children of all ages, not just babies

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2019

I bought this book for my husband for Christmas so that he can read it to our grandchildren who are aged 3, 1 and 1. Although it is presented as a board book for babies, the 3 year old got the most out of it, asking for it to be read to him several times. The book was recommended to me by a friend who was also buying it for her husband. Both men are professors of organic chemistry and they also enjoyed the book's wit, especially the last page: "Now you know ORGANIC CHEMISTRY!"

Worst purchase I have ever made.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2019

Verified Purchase

Absolute drivel. Content is half a dozen sentences that wont make a blind bit of sense to any child regardless of age. Nearly six ponds for half a dozen sentences, a bit of cardboard and a few drawings of a a ball or two. What an absolute con. We bought three different books in this series for our grandson, and all three will be returned to Amazon. shame on you Amazon for selling this rubbish at such a price. Had we paid one pound for all three, I would have felt hard done by.

A brilliant little hardback book, ready and waiting to make my 6 month old the next child genius. Even learning new things myself, and I'm 22!!! Love it!
