The amazing stories and fascinating facts behind the elements that make every moment of the day possible.

"What a magnificent book!" Dr Chris van Tulleken

"A delightful pick-and-mix bag of so many fun and fascinating facts" Professor Jim Al-Khalili

Why is breakfast cereal magnetic? Could you turn wee into gold? How does sand help us see?

The answers have one thing in common - ELEMENTS! Elements are the building blocks that make up EVERYTHING we see, touch and taste. You'll be amazed at how many there are to explore from the moment you wake up to the second you drift off to sleep (no matter how long past your bedtime it is!).

Inside everything from cereal, cars and cakes to toilet paper, pencils and torches - come and meet the extraordinary elements that make YOUR day!

Beautiful colour illustrations throughout by Hao Hao.
