內容簡介

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.

DK的書質量沒得說，這本講的內容孩子比較感興趣。涉及麵廣，我也跟著學習瞭。

封麵很有特色，可以轉動齒輪。書裏有各種隱藏的內容，可供小孩去探索

剛收到時還以為是給小小朋友看的，封麵太吸引人瞭，9歲兒子迫不急待地打開瞭，超級高興。好多文字說明。圖文並茂，立體感強。涉及許多物理知識，很不錯的！

這種創傷的傳遞，是閤理的，卻不是正確的。我絕對的、堅決的不願意自己的孩子再去承受這種精神傷痛，因此對於生孩子這種事慎之又慎。迴望我們的上一代，反思自己是否能成為閤格的父母，不再把我們在這環境之下承受的痛和壓抑無形中帶給孩子，希望我們的下一代能真正擁有自由而獨立的人格，實現他自己所想實現的價值。

京東這次活動太給力，可是購物車裏的書還有好多，期待雙十一，繼續買入，科普繪本，數學繪本……

這套書孩子拿到瞭就不停的翻著看，不論畫風還是文字都很有意思，印刷也很好。
