DK does excellent engaging nonfiction. This hefty tome on technology is also fantastic and engaging.
I have a few students that will eat this up.
I think it will be a great addition to my library.
Thank you to Net Galley and DK for a eARC!
I really really love books like this. Do you want to know how EVERYTHING works? Then this is the book for you. There are wonderfully detailed pictures of everything from bicycles to dishwashers to space stations, showing the insides and outside to both show and tell how everything works. I would recommend this to everyone, even though it's geared toward children, because there is so much fun, easily digestible information. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.
My students who love informational books will devour this. It has so many facts about technology. I would recommend for 3rd grade and up.
I loved this one - I love a good cutaway diagram and this was full of them - I also like the mix of illustrations and photos showing how things look in real life, and think a lot of kids will love this.
My kids loved this book! It's super cute and wholesome and kept their attention the whole time during reading. I highly recommend this book and will purchase a physical copy.
Thank you to NetGalley and DK for the eARC!
First off, this book is absolutely jam-packed with information. It has the standard paragraphs of information in each little subsection but then it has various infographics. illustrations, photographs, and more scattered throughout the pages. The color scheme straddles the line between muted and bright, finding the perfect balance of eye-catching without being too busy. This really does cover all types of technology; From railroads to prosthetic limbs, this book has it all. Every page is visually stunning and is sure to engage any student when it comes to learning about tech!
This book was SO interesting!!!! I loved how it was laid out and my kids were so caught on from the very beginning. It was beautifully done. A great book!
I was SO impressed by How Technology Works. It is a great book that takes you through all different sorts of technology and shows you how they work in clear language. I learned a lot as an adult, and think this would be FANTASTIC for kids! I found myself really engrossed in finding out how each item worked, and this is the perfect intro guide to those concepts.
Thanks to NetGalley and DK Children for the chance to read and review! My opinions are my own.
‘How Technology Works’ was a fascinating and informative read that was enjoyed not only by our little ones but ourselves as well. There is great information and illustrations that encompass our environments and the correlation between the mind and body as well as its relation to technology.
Additionally, the illustrations do a wonderful and subtle job of representing each ethnicity while highlighting the main point of how technology works in a multitude of many dynamic environments.
