Reviews
"Wile E. Coyote experiments with magnetism in hopes he can use it to attract the Roadrunner. Magnets and magnetic poles are defined including a description of how the Earth is like a magnet. Through experiments with magnets readers will learn how magnets attract and repel, how to create a magnetic field, and what electromagnetism is. Readers will learn how magnets and electromagnets are used in daily applications. The cartoon theme is continued in a story format to keep the attention of the reader with the humorous adventures of the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. The author presents the science concepts and practical applications within the text of the familiar cartoon characters who continue their well-known adventures. There are other science related books in this series based on the Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner theme, all of which would be an excellent resource for classroom and school libraries.-- ""NSTA Recommends"""
