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.

评分但那样的父母,经常也是在一个缺乏情感交流的家庭长大。腾讯大家作者尼德罗曾谈到,80后90后在指责父母教养方式的同时,也需要意识到,他们以及他们的父母曾经历过一个多么特殊的时代(政治运动频发,集体凌驾于个人)除了塑造他们缺乏自我,竭力趋同的性格之外,也在记忆中留下了许多隐形的创伤。他们继承了上一辈的精神伤痛,也将这种伤痛传递给孩子。
评分孩子还不太喜欢,等大一些就好了
