Perfect to go along with our magnet study for Science。 Fun simple experiments described that we were able to try。

This book was such a great read！ David Alder does such a great job of explaining magnets in a way that is fun and super helpful for kids。 Something I thought was cool about the book was when he was talking about how opposite magnets attract。 Another thing I found interesting in the book was how lodestone is the only natural magnet。 This book could be very helpful to use for teaching kids what magnets are and how they work。 I would use this book in my classroom to give my student's a visual under This book was such a great read！ David Alder does such a great job of explaining magnets in a way that is fun and super helpful for kids。 Something I thought was cool about the book was when he was talking about how opposite magnets attract。 Another thing I found interesting in the book was how lodestone is the only natural magnet。 This book could be very helpful to use for teaching kids what magnets are and how they work。 I would use this book in my classroom to give my student's a visual understanding of what magnets are used for。 。。。more

The book Magnets Push， Magnets Pull written by David A。 Adler is a great story about two children and their dog learning about the many characteristics of magnets。 The book teaches the reader not only the characteristics of magnets （i。e。 north and south poles， objects that are magnetic， etc。） but also suggests activities for the reader to do with magnets found at home。 Adler suggests activities such as placing paper clips on a table and slowly moving the magnet closer to them and also hanging a The book Magnets Push， Magnets Pull written by David A。 Adler is a great story about two children and their dog learning about the many characteristics of magnets。 The book teaches the reader not only the characteristics of magnets （i。e。 north and south poles， objects that are magnetic， etc。） but also suggests activities for the reader to do with magnets found at home。 Adler suggests activities such as placing paper clips on a table and slowly moving the magnet closer to them and also hanging a magnet by a string from a table， tapping the magnet， and finding out which end of the magnet is the North pole end and which is the South by where it lands after tapping it， among many other activities。 The book also includes a list of vocabulary words including attract， electromagnet， force， magnetic field， magnetism， pole， repel， and simple magnet to help the reader fully understand the characteristics of magnets and what is taking place during the experiments。 I can utilize this book in my classroom when introducing magnets to my students in science class。 We can read aloud the book together to gain a basic knowledge of the characteristics of magnets and we can even perform some of the experiments that the children did in the story。 Specifically， the iron filing experiment where they placed the iron filings on top of a sheet of paper and placed the magnet underneath to reveal the magnet's magnetic field。 This experiment helps students to understand where the magnetic force is the strongest and where it is the weakest。 I believe this book is a great story to gain a basic understanding of the qualities of magnets and is especially great for children of a younger age because there are many experiments throughout the book to help gain that understanding in a relatively easy way。 。。。more

As a reader I really enjoyed this book。 The illustrations helped explain the way magnets work， but also made the book fun and interesting。 I also loved how much the book actually taught me。 As a teacher I liked how the author gave experiments for students to try to test magnets。 After finishing the book as a class I think that would be a great thing for students to test on their own。 This also allows students to combine two subjects at once。 I also loved how the illustrations gave students descr As a reader I really enjoyed this book。 The illustrations helped explain the way magnets work， but also made the book fun and interesting。 I also loved how much the book actually taught me。 As a teacher I liked how the author gave experiments for students to try to test magnets。 After finishing the book as a class I think that would be a great thing for students to test on their own。 This also allows students to combine two subjects at once。 I also loved how the illustrations gave students descriptions on how to preform the experiments。 Along with the illustrations I liked how the author made learning about magnets easy to understand for children。 He also made learning about magnets fun。 。。。more

This is a good book with some great information。 The reason it gets three stars instead of four is because I feel that the style will appeal to a young audience （preK - 2nd） while the content is more suited for older elementary （2nd - 5th）。 This mismatch is one of my personal pet peeves。

Jay Marshall ，

This book talks about where we can find magnets， even in places we least expect them to be。 It explains how magnets work and how we can use them to help us

I really enjoyed this book and feel like I gained more knowledge about magnets in which I did not know much about。 It was also neat to see how Adler was able to come up with different project ideas to present to students such as the shavings to see where the magnetic force is strongest。 I also learned that if the magnets were to break the would continuously create a north and south end。As a future teacher， I could use this book in simple a science project。 I could have the students try different I really enjoyed this book and feel like I gained more knowledge about magnets in which I did not know much about。 It was also neat to see how Adler was able to come up with different project ideas to present to students such as the shavings to see where the magnetic force is strongest。 I also learned that if the magnets were to break the would continuously create a north and south end。As a future teacher， I could use this book in simple a science project。 I could have the students try different materials to see if their magnetic or not。 I could also have an added variable in which they attempt it through different materials to see if they still stick together。 。。。more

This books has lots of great information on magnets， and the cause and effect they have on the world surrounding us。 The book starts by telling us all of the things we could not have without magnets， like televisions， microwaves， computers， and more。 They really established the importance of magnets right off。 Could you imagine living without electronics that we use for daily things like entertainment and cooking; what a disaster。 There are different types of magnets though， those two are simple This books has lots of great information on magnets， and the cause and effect they have on the world surrounding us。 The book starts by telling us all of the things we could not have without magnets， like televisions， microwaves， computers， and more。 They really established the importance of magnets right off。 Could you imagine living without electronics that we use for daily things like entertainment and cooking; what a disaster。 There are different types of magnets though， those two are simple magnets and electromagnets。 We are mostly familiar with the simple magnets， the kind that come in toys or hold our pictures on the refrigerator door。 The cool thing about magnets is that you can test its magnetic ability on plenty of things around your home like， your fridge or cans in the pantry。 Although， you should never stick magnets to things a watch， clock， television， computer， or delicate instrument because it could permanently damage their electronic use。 This book contains great informational text pertaining to magnets， magnesium， and just how it all works together。 This book would be great to incorporate in a lesson on magnetic ability， or even when teaching on the electric current since magnetism pertains to that。 This book has educational， factual information that could add more emphasis to your lesson。 。。。more

This is such a cool book！ It can be hard to find books that discuss harder topics like magnetism in a way that is not confusing or hard to communicate about。 This book offers easy and clear illustrations， descriptions， and experiments for students to do on their own。 As a future teacher， I would use this book to have students conduct short but helpful experiments that would further their understanding - or at least their curiosity - about forces， magnets， and other things。 So thankful to know ab This is such a cool book！ It can be hard to find books that discuss harder topics like magnetism in a way that is not confusing or hard to communicate about。 This book offers easy and clear illustrations， descriptions， and experiments for students to do on their own。 As a future teacher， I would use this book to have students conduct short but helpful experiments that would further their understanding - or at least their curiosity - about forces， magnets， and other things。 So thankful to know about this book！ 。。。more

The illustrations are engaging。 The book started off strong。。。but then got too wordy。 It would ask the reader to try an experiment but then tell them what would happen。 It got really dense on content towards the end of the book。
