Reviews
(review of UK edition) Inquisitive children who want to know 'why?' will love this book which is packed with facts presented in a clear, child-friendly way, with background information about our everyday world. An excellent way to encourage children to take an interest in science, which lies behind so many of the things we take for granted; as they enjoy the book they will come to appreciate and understand scientific principles in a way that will support their learning., Packed with information, this book presents diagrams of the inner workings of 27 random gadgets, tools, and concepts that are a part of our daily lives, including electricity, sewage, a toaster, a vacuum cleaner, and a 3-D printer. Each spread depicts the process--often with cutaway drawings--with lots of tiny people running around to help make it work. Four spreads feature fold-out pages that offer extra content. Numbered paragraphs provide information, and dotted lines indicate the order in which the text should be read...Verdict An additional purchase for browsing.
