About the Author

Barbara Alpert has written nine children's books, including two Capstone books, A Look at Magnets and Electricity All Around, which were inspired by a Toshiba America Foundation Grant she won to teach her fourth grade class about magnets and electricity by creating games and toys. She is also the author of No Friend Like a Sister, The Love of Friends, and Child of My Heart: A Celebration of Adoption; all three books were all chosen as selections by the Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club. Barbara lives in New York City, where she has worked as a teacher, writer, and book editor. She enjoys kayaking and volunteers with the New York City Ballet, the New York Audubon Society, and the New York City Marathon. She especially loves to travel and has journeyed to Africa, Antarctica, and the Aleutian Islands in search of adventure and new stories to share.

Reviews

What Is a magnet? Readers will learn the answer to this question plus find out facts about how magnets are used in our everyday lives. Students will learn words such as magnetic field, repel, and attract. The book is perfect for very young children since the text is very simple. The photos will be helpful to non-readers as well as support early readers in their understanding. Each double page spread has a few lines of text in large print, opposite a large picture filling a full page. There is a glossary, an index, and additional sources for text and Internet information. The Science Builders series is a fabulous collection of books for K-2 science teachers to have on their shelves since the series supplement the national science standards.-- "NSTA"
