Sundiata: Lion King of Mali 5 reviews David Wisniewski
Sandpiper, 1999
Ignore previous review
+ The wonders of sundiata + Cheers for the Real Lion King
For anyone concerned by the previous Nov. 2003 review - Wisniewski's book does not contain this episode. The reviewer must be thinking of another version (although I can't argue with the sentiment!)

What Makes a Magnet? (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) 2 reviews Franklyn M. Branley
HarperTrophy, 1996
Read it as a story or do the experiments
+ educational and entertaining for ages 2 - 100!
The good thing about this book is that it is interesting enough to read it (at bedtime, for example) without pausing to do the experiments or you can use it in conjunction with some great little experiments to learn more about magnets.
It is not extremely detailed, but my five-year-old son found ...
