I just finished reading Once upon an Atom, and I have to say, it was a really fascinating read. I love how the author was able to break down complex scientific concepts into easy-to-understand analogies and stories. The book really made me appreciate the wonders of the universe and how everything is connected. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in science or just looking for a thought-provoking read.

This doesn't have many words, but I really liked the rhyming and learning about the different kinds of science like physics, chemistry and biology. It was fun to read and see the illustrations.

I learnt about the 3 different types of science: Chemistry, Biology and Physics. I learnt that chemistry is about things like atoms. Biology is about living things like flowers blooming and Physics is about things like movement and gravity. Like when the apple dropped on Sir Isaac Newton's head! My favourite science subject is biology. I would recommend this book to others :)
