Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Science with Magnets
Rebecca Hedde · 2008
74/100
👍 Worth It
A clean, capable little science activity book that does exactly what it sets out to do — get young kids experimenting with magnets using stuff already in the house. The real-world connections (compasses, door catches, cranes) give the concepts sticking power, even if curious older readers will want to go deeper. A solid pick for early STEM shelves.
