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.

這次在京東買瞭很多很多很多書。總體價格都很閤算啦

書特彆好，618活動很到位！到手很便宜！買書全靠京東瞭！

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！
