David MacaulayThe Way Things Work: Newly Revised Edition: The Ultimate Guide to How Things Work

Wonderful for kids who constantly try to take apart and put together things . Two of my 3 grandsons loved it, one did not.The one who liked it the least, was learning English as second language (Japanese).

Amazing Book! The illustrations are excellent and the content is great. I bought this for my children but now that I see the amazing information - I want to read it first!Great book for homeschooling. I highly recommend it

The media could not be loaded. I bought this book for my 14-year-old son for his birthday. He has a curious mind and always likes to know how things work. When I saw the title of this book, I thought this is perfect. He has enjoyed reading the book and learning about all the ways that various things work. The information is presented in sections, which makes it easy to read and not overwhelming. The illustrations are helpful and add to the enjoyment of the book. Not only is this a great book for a teenager, I think this is a good book for anybody. I’ve now read the book and learned so much from it. It’s nice because you can read about one or two different things and then put it away and then pick it up again easily. I like this book and I recommend it for anybody who has a curious mind.

My 7 year old grandson, loved this book!

My 7 year old is an advanced reader and loves to read informational books. This has been one of his favorites! I got this for his birthday in may, it is now March, and he still picks this up often to read! Such a wealth of information and pictures. He loves it. I would definitely recommend if you have a child who loves to know how everything works and always asks questions about these types of things.

It is a very heavy hard cover book, maybe too much for my 7 yo grandson. Also it was too technical and too advanced for him although he is advanced for his grade level. I accidentally ordered 2 copies instead of 1 and will by returning them both.

It took my book a long time to arrive but the wait was well worth it. It arrived undamaged and in perfect condition. I bought more than one to give as gifts and I am keeping one for myself. A young child can enjoy the pictures and a senior can revisit all the inventions they saw in their lifetime. Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Good book for a young boy
