内容简介

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.

孩子的同学的家长介绍的，这本书说很好，看了一下简介就很喜欢了，希望孩子也会喜欢

这种创伤的传递，是合理的，却不是正确的。我绝对的、坚决的不愿意自己的孩子再去承受这种精神伤痛，因此对于生孩子这种事慎之又慎。回望我们的上一代，反思自己是否能成为合格的父母，不再把我们在这环境之下承受的痛和压抑无形中带给孩子，希望我们的下一代能真正拥有自由而独立的人格，实现他自己所想实现的价值。

4岁宝宝很喜欢看

趁活动多买书多囤书总没错

东西很好，不光小孩看，大人看了也长知识，总之赞一个，就是京东发过来的时候书封面四个角折了，也不打算计较了……

刚收到时还以为是给小小朋友看的，封面太吸引人了，9岁儿子迫不急待地打开了，超级高兴。好多文字说明。图文并茂，立体感强。涉及许多物理知识，很不错的！

不错，小朋友很喜欢。

买了很多dk的书，都很喜欢，推荐给好多朋友，这本物理启蒙的书趣味性特别强，书里有很多小机关，孩子边看边玩，非常喜欢。书从头到尾讲的是一只树懒和一只小老鼠厌倦了动物园的生活，于是开动脑筋设计了各种机械，想借助各种机械装置翻越围墙的故事。
