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.

我们总是感觉到，父母对自己的爱表现为一种控制，希望孩子按照自己规定的方式成长。因此，我们常常生出一种逃离原生家庭的冲动。

孩子很喜欢

记得20几年前，小的时候连一本作文书都买不起，导致写作文的时候特别头疼，现在长大了特别爱书。谢谢东哥让我们这些普通百姓也能看得起正版书。京东快递健步如飞，京东小哥服务一流，工作在物流一线的师傅们，你们辛苦了。书这段时间买的比较多，有几十本吧，由于以后忙没时间关注这些，这次活动就多买了一些，留着家里慢慢看吧，感谢京东，是你让我们这些平民阶层也能买得起正版书，会一直支持京东，期待京东下次的优惠活动。

京东这次活动太给力，可是购物车里的书还有好多，期待双十一，继续买入，科普绘本，数学绘本……

里面的画风不是很喜欢

DK的书还是不错的，内容丰富，做工精致，值得收藏。趁着活动赶紧入手了，内容不错，有深度，彩叶图片，配合说明，都很到位，绝对是一本值得收藏的好书，可我不能给五星，一起买的套书，为啥偏偏要把这本放在最下面呢，把书都压坏了，还有最后一页是粘住的，慢慢的分开，胶水还是把纸撕坏了，这种低级错误完全可以避免，作为收藏的，看着就是个疙瘩，看看能不能申请换货。

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！

非常的好看，多，这个书真有意义
