Evaluation:
I thought that this was a cute book. This is not the type of book that you would typically read aloud to your class but I think that since it is so full of science facts that you could use it for a science lesson. I loved that there was humor in the story and I think that the author did a great job.

Very cute story about Peter who loves to play jokes on his friends. In the end, they get him back, with the help of magnets. The story weaves in information about magnets in a very natural way.
