变色龙是如何改变颜色？冰箱是怎么保持低温的？我的身体如何恢复？翻开这本美国国家地理儿童百科书Little Kids First Big Book of How就能找到答案！本书对围绕在孩子们身边的事物以及这些东西是如何运转的进行了近距离地观察，从汽车到吸尘器、动物到人类都有涉及。100多张彩色照片，并配以适合年龄的文字，图文并茂，语言描述生动有趣，能很好地激发孩子的好奇心和求知欲，从而鼓励他们去探索周围的世界。

《国家地理》（National Geographic，原名《国家地理杂志》）是美国国家地理学会的官方杂志，在国家地理学会1888年成立后的9个月开始发行第1期。现在国家地理已经成为世界上广为人知的一本杂志，其封面上的亮黄色边框及月桂纹图样已经成为其象征，同时这些标识也是国家地理的注册商标。  National Geographic总是能提供我们令人震撼的影像，从大自然、动物，到人文，纪录了这个地球上不同地区、不同物种、不同文化的生存之美。国家地理杂志近千分之一的选片率虽然显得苛刻，但一大批充满理想和浪漫主义的优秀摄影师、记者在这里诞生，而那些有灵魂有激情的作品则往往代表了一种标准。在大多数读者眼中，国家地理杂志意味着权威、科学性、准官方，它更像是一本百科全书而不仅仅是一本杂志。 This charming reference book takes a closer look at the things that surround kids every day and how they work—from cars to vacuum cleaners, animal bodies to humans. More than 100 colorful photos are paired with age-appropriate text featuring answers to questions like “How do chameleons change color?” “How do refrigerators stay cold?” and “How does my body heal?” This book inspires kids to be curious, ask questions, and explore the world around them. Review“Esbaum’s text is funny, educational, and exciting enough to keep children turning those pages until the very end. This book is flexible and diverse enough to be used across multiple genres, including science, social skills courses, math, horticulture, ecology, oceanography, meteorology, or simply as a vibrant independent reading tool.”  — New York Journal of Books “Readers will have fun looking through this book and will also enjoy the many subject areas covered... I found it hard to put the book down as each page contained another interesting question. The design is very appealing with colorful pictures that follow the text.”  — School Library Connection
