How to Make a Flying Carpet (Alex, the Inventor) by Lois Wickstrom

 

How to Make a Flying Carpet (Alex, the Inventor #2)How to Make a Flying Carpet by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alex is a cool kid who's looking to turn something old into something new and useful. When a refrigerator magnet breaks, he takes the magnet and tries various things to see if he can create something useful with what's left.

There's a key that fell down in the floor grate. Will his magnet pick that up? What about the desk drawer? What will he pick up there?

Alex learns about different properties of magnets during this science adventure.

I love that Lois Wickstrom writes book with a STEAM focus. These are great for ages 4-8 but I enjoyed it as someone that's a grandma too! The illustrations are also very well done in these books and there is a guide at the end of the book for further learning.
