Explore the fascinating field of magnetism with this interactive
picture book for young learners.
Magnetism is all around us--even the earth is a giant magnet. A world
without magnets would be a world without cell phones, computers, and
more!
Trusted children's nonfiction author David A. Adler covers the basics of
magnetism, including compasses, for aspiring scientists. Hands-on
experiments are smartly woven into the narrative. Want to test out the
strength of a magnet? All you need is a bowl of water and some paper
clips!
Anna Raff's lively art illustrates scientific concepts clearly, with the
added fun of two siblings and their dog exploring and learning together.
Back matter includes a glossary that defines such terms as attraction,
pole, electromagnetism, force, and more. Suggested activities on how to
make your own magnet are also included.
