Praise for Kate the Chemist: Dragons vs. Unicorns:

"Proves that science and fun go together like molecules in a polymer."--School Library Journal

"It's a great introduction to the basics of Chemistry that is readily accessible to a variety of ages . . . . The way the everyday chemistry is blended in is done seamlessly, and has [me and my ten-year-old son] noticing how we are all doing a little bit of science everyday." --GeekMom.com
