The Attractive Story of Magnetism: With Max Axiom Super Scientist (Graphic Library)

I felt an attraction to this book having read another good book in the series - A Crash Course in Forces and Motion. This book is a good introduction to magnets. But even better, it highlights some real world applications where magnets are used to solve problems. I sent several copies to the very needy Native American reservation school - Wounded Knee District School PO Box 350, Manderson, South Dakota. I added some magnet sets (also sold through Amazon) as an enrichment activity. After all - seeing is believing when it comes to magnets. See Dowling Magnets Alnico Science Kit and Dowling Magnets Iron Filings. The Add on product School Specialty Magnetic Field Detection Compasses makes it possible to examine magnetic fields. Magnetic Field Viewing Film (also sold by Amazon is a good alternative non messy way to see magnetic fields around small magnets. NASA offers online, a great set of hands on magnetism activities called Exploring Magnetism.http://cse.ssl.berkeley.edu/SegwayEd/lessons/exploring_magnetism/exploring_magnetism/

This is one of the books on my son's list for his AP Reading summer project. I was surprised to see that it was such a short book, and I didn't realize that it was a graphic novel either. However short, it is still filled with tons of information. It's a fun and simple way for kids to become interested in and learn about magnetism. It's definitely a good read and even better if you can find it on sale!

Super fun

This was a great book on magnetism. My son is autistic and the concepts made sense to him. He liked this.Got the paperback, had to tape a few pages in, but all in all a good book. Illustrated and written well.

My wife uses these in her 5th grade classroom and the students really like them. She found it especially useful with reluctant readers.

GOOD

Such a big hit! My 8 year old can't wait to earn the next one.

The idea of these books is great, but they need to make the book longer with more of a plot so that children have time to get into the adventure and learn the information.

good graphics.
