    Will a magnet pick up a paper clip or a feather? The answer is, just the paper clip. Magnets only pick up things that contain bits of iron.

True Kelley's charming illustrations will entertain readers as they discover for themselves what makes a magnet. Hands-on activities include making a magnet and compass.

    This interesting informative book about magnets engages readers immediately with a fishing expedition-a magnet on a string into a box of various objects. We learn how to turn a needle into a magnet and then how to turn that magnet into a compass. The compass is then used to prove that the earth is a magnet. Lets-Read-And-Find-Out Science, Stage 2.
