The Periodic Table: Elements with Style is a 2007 children's science book created by Simon Basher and written by Adrian Dingle.

For every type of then known atom, Basher has created a "manga-esque"[1] cartoon, and for many types of atoms, Dingle, a high-school chemistry teacher who also developed an award-winning chemistry website[2] has written a couple paragraphs of facts to go with the cartoon.

Dingle, who says that "[s]cience is a serious business", wanted in writing the book "to get people engaged is to make it accessible while still presenting hard facts and knowledge,"[3] while Basher was concerned that the book's design be "sharp and focused" in order to "connect with today's visually advanced young audience.

"[4] Publishers Weekly said that the book was a "lively introduction to the chart that has been the bane of many a chemistry student",[5] and in a review in New Scientist, Vivienne Greig called The Periodic Table "an engrossing read and an ideal way to painlessly impart a great deal of science history to seen-it-all-before teenagers.

[6] The Periodic Table: Elements with Style has also been reviewed in the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books[7] and the Journal of Chemical Education.
