Description

Bruce Whatley plays with the meaning of magnetic to hilarious effect in this endearing story of a dog who attracts … food! On the first page, the author acknowledges the more traditional definition of magnetic (though young scientists will spot an inaccuracy in his explanation), but students will quickly recognize that Skitty’s relationship with food does in some ways mimic the behavior of magnets and iron materials. And they’ll love the playful images of the large, boxer-like dog and the food that just seems to fly to him.
