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.
Caldecott Medal award winner and MacArthur fellow David Macaulay has illustrated and written over 25 books for children. His most famous work includes The Way Things Work and Cathedral. His illustrations have been featured in popular, nonfiction books combining text and illustrations explaining architecture, design, and engineering.

评分这套书孩子拿到了就不停的翻着看,不论画风还是文字都很有意思,印刷也很好。
评分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。
