How does it work?
Moate, Maddie, 1988-2026
Book
Follow Maddie Moate as she takes a look inside everyday objects and machines - from fridges to fire engines! Starting in the home, you'll find out how microwaves heat your food and how smart speakers react to voice commands. Then take a trip to the supermarket and discover how the checkout works, before heading to the playground and learning why a roundabout makes you feel dizzy! As you learn about difference machines and objects, you'll go on four mini adventures - from finding missing parts of a toy car, to preparing a birthday picnic. And there are puzzles for readers to solve too, including a spot the difference, a maze and a word ladder.
