Content
How time consuming our daily life would be without the help of technology! In this book, many of our everyday helpers are clearly explained. The first pages introduce some of the things that form the foundation of our high standard of living such as electricity, water, heating and cooling, and the telephone.Things get even more exciting in the kitchen and bathroom, because these rooms are filled with examples of technology. How does the water get into the sink? What happens when you flush a toilet? How does a washing machine work? Can it think? And the dishwasher, and the stove? What's purring and humming there in the kitchen? Moveable flaps allow children to peer "inside" a washing machine, dishwasher, and other appliances.
About the Series
The WWW series stands out for its playful, enticing way of conveying just the information that kids want to know. Centered on who-what-how questions, the titles in the series explore subjects of great interest to young children. The thousands of questions children ask daily are answered by means of interactive elements, engaging illustrations, and age-appropriate texts. Because the lively illustrations convey so much, the books hold children's interest even without an adult to read the clear, friendly texts. WWW is ideally suited for preschool and kindergarten ages, for children 4 to 7 years old.
