Book Title: The How and Why Wonder Book of Electricity

Author: Jerome J. Notkin and Sidney Gulkin

Selection Statement:

My dad was responsible for sparking my love of science. When I was 6 years old, he gave me a copy of this book. Reading it was a challenge and I needed help, but the story was fascinating. A whole new world opened for me. I remember learning that a spinning magnet inside a wire coil produces electricity. It seemed like magic then, and even now there’s still magic about the memory. The book asked questions I wanted to ask, and there were things called “experiments” that you could do! Thanks, Dad!
