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.

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。

京東這次活動太給力，可是購物車裏的書還有好多，期待雙十一，繼續買入，科普繪本，數學繪本……

第一次在京東自營店買也是最後一次買，一起買的書，這本比彆的紙質好些，反正彆的都不好

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！

孩子的同學的傢長介紹的，這本書說很好，看瞭一下簡介就很喜歡瞭，希望孩子也會喜歡

以點心嘉年華為主題的魔術童話。可以想象，小讀者閱讀時必定笑聲不絕。當然，還請老師和傢長不要責備小讀者吵鬧，因為他們正在享受這場錶演。　　哲璋睿智觀察每種點心的物性，以他特有的魔術棒——邏輯趣味，施法包裝。當讀者撕開包裝入口，魔術童話的趣味首先充滿口腔，最後讓讀者口齒留香的是人性的關懷、處世態度與教育這些話題。雖然他的魔術技法有可能三兩下就被大人拆穿，但可貴的是，當大人拆穿這些技法時，就會給予他更多的掌聲，這是不容易的。文字遊戲也是哲璋的魔術技法。他絞盡心思地讓文字加入說故事的行列，讓小讀者在享受故事的同時學習如何運用好文字。作者簡介　　林哲璋
