Review by Booklist Review

What can a magnet pick up? Can I make something magnetic? How do compasses work? As part of the First Science Experiments series, this small, square book introduces basic concepts about magnets with hands-on activities that parents and teachers can do with children and then talk about. Each experiment is divided into three sections: materials needed, procedures, and results. Cheery colorful cartoons, making the book an appealing package for children and their adult helpers, accompany the text. Others in the series include Mighty Machines! and Wonderful Weather! --Hazel Rochman Copyright 2006 Booklist

Review by Horn Book Review

After posing a question (""Why do I have spit?"" ""What can a magnet pick up?""), each double-page spread presents a simple experiment to answer it, followed by a brief explanation of what happened. Materials and instructions are clear, and explanations are easy to understand (if occasionally partial). The cartoon illustrations and some diagrams help clarify these kid-friendly experiments. Ind.
