Award-winning artist David Macaulay introduces readers to his hilarious new creations, Sloth and Sengi, in How Machines Work: Zoo Break!
Complete with a unique jacket with an interactive compound machine incorporating several of the simple mechanisms featured in the book, How Machines Work: Zoo Break! uses models and illustrations to demonstrate the technology of six simple machines: levers, pulleys, screws, inclined planes, wedges, and wheels.
Follow the mad antics of Sloth and his sidekick Sengi as they try to find their way out of the zoo with the help of machines. Their efforts are brought to life through novelty elements including pop-ups, pull-outs, and lift-the-flaps, allowing readers to explore in greater depth how and why machines work. Spreads highlight the use of simple machines in everyday objects, such as scissors and clocks, mixers and whisks, bikes and brakes, while the story contains clear and simple text to engage the reader.
Caldecott Medal award winner and MacArthur fellow David Macaulay has illustrated and written over 25 books for children. His most famous work includes The Way Things Work and Cathedral. His illustrations have been featured in popular, nonfiction books combining text and illustrations explaining architecture, design, and engineering.

書特彆好,618活動很到位!到手很便宜!買書全靠京東瞭!
評分 評分很有趣的一本百科書。
評分京東618,不斷剁手,這本書真的很提綱挈領,加拿大人給小孩寫的,通過曆史上有重要意義的180個曆史事件、人物以及發明概述瞭世界式(英文副標題是180events,people and inventions that changed the world) ,感覺很契閤新教材和大綱哦!內容很簡潔,還不時有小鏈接互相徵引,對於初步瞭解世界式的小朋友可以做概覽參考,大一點的孩子可以根據內容擴展,還可以作為課本內容補充,有活動價,感覺入手很值…不過讀的很倉促,記得看過介紹說人類最古老的祖先是700多萬年前的乍得沙赫人與首頁600萬年稍有差異,希望後麵的時間結點都沒有問題…主要看精神,哈哈
評分東西很好,不光小孩看,大人看瞭也長知識,總之贊一個,就是京東發過來的時候書封麵四個角摺瞭,也不打算計較瞭……
評分趁活動多買書多囤書總沒錯
評分這次在京東買瞭很多很多很多書。總體價格都很閤算啦
評分這本書孩子很喜歡,機械迷最愛。六歲男孩子,年齡段也剛好。
評分封麵都已經很吸睛
