See Inside How Things Work Board book – January 1, 2010

This is the fourth "See Inside" book we purchased and as usual, we love it! My sons are 5 1/2 and really enjoy interactive and educational books. The Usbourne books are loaded with flaps to lift, pictures to study and side bars to read; however, the print and illustrations do not overwhelm like some other books we have looked at. The illustrations are beautiful and the book is sturdy and durable. Very pleasing to the eye. My favorite see inside book is the "See Inside" Space. My one son just got out the book "When is a planet not a planet? The story of Pluto" from their school library and we read part of that book and then read 4 pages from the see inside space and they complimented each other perfectly. The boys were very pleased with themselves that they remembered what Copernicus and Galileo contributed to the research history of astronomy. The boys also love that the space book has a removable star and constellation chart that we take outside at night to find all of the "art" in the sky. The see inside dinosaur book is another one of our favorites!I highly recommend this series of books!

I bought that book for my 2.3 years old boy. It is very cool book, it is a bit early for him but still he enjoys pictures of different machines, but by age of 3 I guess it will became his favourite book. It is very good, I think it will be interesting until age 5-6 years. Best book for young kid. For toddlers a bit advanced.

I love that we've found these books! My daughter brought home a 'See Inside' book from school and was enthralled with it for most of the evening. I searched it to find out if I could purchase it and discovered a whole series! We have 'houses long ago', 'under the sea', 'how things work' and 'space'. I love them! I'm as interested as the children to see what is under each flap and I've even learned things I never knew. Great learning resource. I plan to buy the whole series!We originally purchased this book for our 7 year old daughter and skipped getting a few because I assumed my 4 year old son was too young for them. However, the bright colors and interesting flaps and lifts has him interested enough to sit through the books too. I'd buy this for a girl or boy from ages 3 to probably 12 or 13 years old.

We really like the book! It has great info that is good for several age levels. My 2 year old loves all the flaps, my five year old loves looking at how everything fits together and works and having me read to him and I think my 8 and 10 year olds will like to read the information more in depth. Good buy!

My 4, now 5 year old grandson loves this book. We review only one or two pages at a time, as each page is chock-full of concepts. Great overview of how a variety of things work with good, colorful illustrations. Very worth the purchase.

As I expected, my grandson loves this book! He's four, and fascinated by the mechanics of the world. He's been asking questions like, "Where does the water go when it goes down the pipes?" and "How does the gas get into the furnace?" so the book is a big hit! The information is great, the lift-the-flap features make it lots of fun (and allow for a whole lot of explanation), and it includes big machines and a guy about to go scuba diving in a toilet! What could be better than that? I'll be looking for more from this series!

Like everything today it has links to Internet and isupdated in what it shows. Was expecting original editionbut still it is an educational and good book for teaching a youngster

Great book with great flaps to explore!! Book is very sturdy and easy to use. Kids love it!!
