See Inside How Things Work Board book – Lift the flap, 25 Sept. 2009

Superb book which captures my three year old grandson's attention more than any other book he has owned fiction or non-fiction. He is fascinated by the pictures flaps and texts when read to him. The perfect book for any young child with an "engineering" bias. My grandson is enthralled by the mechanics of everyday objects and means of transport so this could not be more up his street. He talks endlessly about fans, cogs,pistons, overflows etc etc. There are plenty of flaps to open which young children will always enjoy and seem reasonable resistant to tearing. This book is exceptionally good value; I am delighted to have bought it for a little boy who is always asking why something works the way it does. Ingenious book worth far more than the price at which sold. I think it will be the firm favourite for a long time. Scores highly as a learning resource and provider of enjoyment.

Bought for 4 year old nephew. Not a word out of him for hours.

I bought this for my 3 year old great nephew to give to him on my recent five night visit. This was the only book he wanted to 'read' with me during my entire stay! He loved lifting all the flaps to see the inner workings of cars, household water systems, bicycles etc etc. He found every single page fascinating and had loads of questions! I knew it would be a hit but it surpassed even my expectations!Just a point to note ...the flaps are very well 'fastened' down and we nearly tore the first one we opened so, safely away from the small boy of course, I took a knife to the flaps to loosen them in order to proceed with all the others.

Although I haven’t given it to my grandson yet (Xmas) looking through it it looks really interesting and clear .. my grandson (4) will like looking through these pages as he loves anything mechanical , construction , wheels and how they work .. 🤞🏻 and we’ll see after Christmas 👍🏻👎🏻

Very well presented e

My grandson loved this book, he's six

Bought this book for my 3 year old grandson who is very curious as to how everything works. It is a favourite book for him and the lift the flap way of showing what's happening behind the scene is a big hit.Very well thought out and would suit older children too.

I love usborne books and this one does not disappoint. My 3 1/2 yrs son got it for Christmas and it was the hit of the day. There is so much to look at and learn about, and the level of content will be useful to him for years to come. Presentation is exciting and engaging, with so many flaps to lift that it took several read throughs to find them all!This book has been so popular that we have bought it as a present for several children, all of whom loved it.(3 years later) I’m updating this review to say that yes, he still loves it and is still asking me to let him look in the cistern of our toilet! I think we are raising a plumber:-)
