Good reporting.

This book is like a brightly illustrated science report by a young student scientist. It shows simple magnets, with positive and negative poles, attracting and repelling. It shows what is attracted and repelled (metals, plastics, wood, etc.) It provides great re-inforcement or whrrat you child has learned or will learn by playing with real magnets.The book goes further, with identification of electro-magnets and where you might see them in use.It's simple and exciting and makes you (or your child) want to play with magnets!
