 I am always looking for good books to read myself and to my daughter. This defintely deserves a post   I recommend “Elemental” by tim James which talks about evolution of the periodic table and structure of atom in the lightest possible way with lots of humour too. You can read it with him. The Basher books or Khan focus on knowledge as given in school whereas this book talks about how the scientists figured things out .
