The Slime King is part of the Makers Make it Work series and
showcases Leo who never felt good at science, but enjoyed making slime. His
teacher learns about his slime interest and helps him make the chemistry
connection.
This series of books is doing an amazing job at being
inclusive. In this book, the teacher wears a hijab and has a fuller figure. The
book includes a slime recipe and would be a fun curriculum connection in a
science classroom.
