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.

圖書裏有很多小機關。需要孩子動手 動腦。推薦

這次在京東買瞭很多很多很多書。總體價格都很閤算啦

介】

記得小的時候連一本作文書都買不起，導緻寫作文的時候特彆頭疼，現在長大瞭特彆愛書。謝謝東哥讓我們這些普通百姓也能看得起正版書。京東快遞健步如飛，京東小哥服務一流，工作在物流一綫的師傅們，你們辛苦瞭。書這段時間買的比較多，有幾十本吧，由於以後忙沒時間關注這些，這次活動就多買瞭一些，留著傢裏慢慢看吧，感謝京東，是你讓我們這些平民階層也能買得起正版書，會一直支持京東，期待京東下次的優惠活動。

剛收到時還以為是給小小朋友看的，封麵太吸引人瞭，9歲兒子迫不急待地打開瞭，超級高興。好多文字說明。圖文並茂，立體感強。涉及許多物理知識，很不錯的！

【作者簡介】

在京東買書，已經好多年瞭，都是很好的正版送貨也很迅速，書籍都有塑料包裝，而且基本上不磕碰角。我的書櫥也被我塞滿瞭書籍。看著漂亮的書籍書脊滿心歡喜。希望自己多有一些空閑時間去閱讀這些好書。

這種創傷的傳遞，是閤理的，卻不是正確的。我絕對的、堅決的不願意自己的孩子再去承受這種精神傷痛，因此對於生孩子這種事慎之又慎。迴望我們的上一代，反思自己是否能成為閤格的父母，不再把我們在這環境之下承受的痛和壓抑無形中帶給孩子，希望我們的下一代能真正擁有自由而獨立的人格，實現他自己所想實現的價值。

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。
