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

What can you do when one of your fridge magnets breaks? This is the question that Alex, the Inventor, a young girl with a bright mind comes across when one of her fridge magnets breaks and she has to find something to do with it.

So what can magnets do, apart from sticking to fridges? This is the first of many experiments Alex will investigate and when she discovers that they can push apart as well as stick together, this leads onto ideas of how she can use these facts, including whether she can use magnets to make a magic carpet.

This is a great way for kids to learn about the basics of the science behind magnets in a way which is both entertaining and interesting for the young and old alike in this charming and well thought out educational book.
