How to Make a Flying Carpet (Alex, the Inventor Book #2) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Angela Hayes

How to Make a Flying Carpet by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

How to Make a Flying Carpet is the second book in Alex, the Inventor series by Lois Wickstrom. It is an illustrated children’s story about making a flying carpet. It includes some science on magnets, magnetic fields, Earth’s Magnetic field, and what makes metal magnetic. Alex is an inventor and likes to make useful things out of unused and ‘old’ items. So we follow along as she brainstorms ideas for making things, and get to see her invent things.
This is probably the ‘wordiest’ of Ms. Wickstrom’s books that my grandson and I have read, so far. But it did inspire him to want to try to make his own ‘flying carpet’- so it did capture his imagination.

Happy reading!
