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.

评分封面很有特色,可以转动齿轮。书里有各种隐藏的内容,可供小孩去探索
评分现在最大爱好就是在京东买买买,,尤其给孩子买书,每次过活动都买几百块钱的书,钱花了觉得很值很高兴,很多家长不理解,觉得孩子那么小买那么多书干嘛,万一买了不看不就浪费了,我想说如果家里连书都没有,你凭什么指望孩子自己会喜欢阅读看书,家长如果都没这种在教育上投资的想法,以后等大了再培养,估计就很难,到时候后悔去吧!
评分很有趣的一本百科书。
评分在孩子还有时间的情况下,在经济条件允许下,能多读点书就多读点书,京东活动再加上东券,很合算,书的质量,好的,依旧没得说,能看的抓紧时间看,不能看的先屯着,早晚都能看
评分我们总是感觉到,父母对自己的爱表现为一种控制,希望孩子按照自己规定的方式成长。因此,我们常常生出一种逃离原生家庭的冲动。
评分非常非常有趣的一本书,大人也玩得不亦乐乎。印刷精美,没有气味,京东物流都是次日达,太满意了
评分非常的好看,多,这个书真有意义
评分第一次在京东自营店买也是最后一次买,一起买的书,这本比别的纸质好些,反正别的都不好
