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.

质量很好的样子，内页不是铜版纸，超喜欢，不会发光。图片颜色鲜艳，字体的大小也很合适，不错！

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。

这本书还是很好玩的，适合7岁的小朋友看，至少不那么枯燥

这本书孩子很喜欢，机械迷最爱。六岁男孩子，年龄段也刚好。

孩子看到书来了，高兴呀，迫不及待的开始看起了。废寝忘食，作业都写的快了。我希望孩子能在初中的时候对这些知识有些印象，学起来不费劲。还有就是希望她的童年充实，喜欢读书，读好书。做一个快乐的人。接受生活的磨难与痛苦，选择快乐的生活方式，比什么都强，买了好多好多书。可以说是我购书上瘾，但这里面也有对孩子的殷切期望，希望她能健康快乐的成才。谢谢京东吧。第一，京东的快递好快。第二京东用纸箱子，书没有破损。第三，京东的券能抢到，是一种优惠，对喜欢读书人的支持。希望我还能抢到券，买到更多优秀的书，带给身边的人去看，去读。太经典的一部80后作者的诙谐之作。书内页掉了，在71页。

趁活动多买书多囤书总没错

这本书还是很好玩的，适合7岁的小朋友看，至少不那么枯燥

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。
