Reviews
Five Stars! Reviewed by Carol Thompson for Readers' Favorite The Sheep Magnet by Bernice Seward is a delightful children's book that combines humor, creativity, and educational elements in a fun, interactive way. The story follows Pete, a sweet character who attracts a flock of sheep wherever he goes. It's a charming story that shows Pete's clever and inventive attempts to shoo the sheep away using contraptions like sheep-repellent spray and even anti-gravity devices. Despite his best efforts, the sheep remain, leading to countless amusing scenarios and clever sheep-related puns that young readers will enjoy. The Sheep Magnet introduces elements of science and engineering through Pete's problem-solving strategies. Bernice Seward's incorporation of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) makes the story entertaining and educational, inviting children to think critically and creatively about problem-solving. Seward's beautiful illustrations, created using digital mixed-media collage, enrich each page, enhancing the storytelling with lively scenes that draw readers into Pete's world. The book also includes engaging activities, like a ""How to draw a sheep"" guide and discussion questions, encouraging children to extend their engagement beyond the story. The interactivity of the story makes this an excellent way to teach young children about STEAM subjects, so it's not intimidating. There's even a mention of the fascinating ""leaf sheep,"" a real-life sea slug, tying in marine biology. Seward's approach makes The Sheep Magnet a standout addition to children's educational literature, promoting curiosity and laughter on every page. It's a delightful read for young readers and a perfect addition to any classroom or family bookshelf. There's so much to do and learn!
