"This brilliantly informative book does a deep dive into the science of everyday objects and machines."
Written by Maddie Moate, star of CBeebies’ Do You Know?, How Does It Work? is infused with an infectious sense of exploration and discovery, all perfectly enhanced by Paul Boston’s bright and informatively detailed illustrations.
Cleverly structured around four themed adventures (Race Around the House, The Birthday- Party Dash, The School Trip CAT-astrophe, and The Great Holiday Adventure), each section of the book explains how a wealth of objects and machines work — from toilets and toothpaste, to wind turbines. While the text is always super-clear and super-compelling, integrated puzzles and a great glossary provide more interaction and information.
Starting off in the house and garden, where we discover the science secrets behind, for a few examples, microwaves, fridges and the glow-in-the-dark stars that brighten our bedrooms, we then head to the supermarket to learn about barcodes and conveyor belts, and also find out about ferries, waves and the inner workings of binoculars on further-flung adventures.
Immensely satisfying in terms of the facts it shares, How Does It Work? is also sure to spark off-the-page exploration, leaving kids aglow with the wonders of science and keen to find out how everything works! As such, it’s a sure-fire winner for inquisitive young minds that will also, in all likelihood, teach grown-ups plenty of fascinating facts about dozens of everyday objects that loom large in our lives.
