A simple introduction to how electrical circuits work.

Pretty cute and informational children's book on how electricity works, using everyday household examples. Although I wish that if they were going to use the visual of the magnet going through the coils, they would explain how a magnet functions while they do so; the audience might not already know

that and might question the why of how a magnet effects electron flow. Would be a very handy book for a elementary school classroom.
