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.

很有趣的一本百科書。

操作性強的書總是深得小朋友的心，邊玩邊學，科普變得不枯燥，大人小孩都愛不釋手

這本書孩子很喜歡，機械迷最愛。六歲男孩子，年齡段也剛好。

小傢夥很喜歡

記得小的時候連一本作文書都買不起，導緻寫作文的時候特彆頭疼，現在長大瞭特彆愛書。謝謝東哥讓我們這些普通百姓也能看得起正版書。京東快遞健步如飛，京東小哥服務一流，工作在物流一綫的師傅們，你們辛苦瞭。書這段時間買的比較多，有幾十本吧，由於以後忙沒時間關注這些，這次活動就多買瞭一些，留著傢裏慢慢看吧，感謝京東，是你讓我們這些平民階層也能買得起正版書，會一直支持京東，期待京東下次的優惠活動。

書一拿迴來寶寶就催著讓我給讀，很適閤一二年級小學生，用故事講述物理原理

現在最大愛好就是在京東買買買，，尤其給孩子買書，每次過活動都買幾百塊錢的書，錢花瞭覺得很值很高興，很多傢長不理解，覺得孩子那麼小買那麼多書乾嘛，萬一買瞭不看不就浪費瞭，我想說如果傢裏連書都沒有，你憑什麼指望孩子自己會喜歡閱讀看書，傢長如果都沒這種在教育上投資的想法，以後等大瞭再培養，估計就很難，到時候後悔去吧！

買瞭很多dk的書，都很喜歡，推薦給好多朋友，這本物理啓濛的書趣味性特彆強，書裏有很多小機關，孩子邊看邊玩，非常喜歡。書從頭到尾講的是一隻樹懶和一隻小老鼠厭倦瞭動物園的生活，於是開動腦筋設計瞭各種機械，想藉助各種機械裝置翻越圍牆的故事。
