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.

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

收到後孩子很喜歡，特彆是有機關的，故事講得很好。喜歡

非常非常有趣的一本書，大人也玩得不亦樂乎。印刷精美，沒有氣味，京東物流都是次日達，太滿意瞭
