The Big Book of How Things Work by Professor Poppy, an international bestselling author, turns everyday questions into clear, fully illustrated learning pages that children can understand at a glance.

Inside, curious readers explore machines, gadgets, the human body, science, nature, space, weather, home systems, and more. Each topic pairs a simple explanation with a bold black-and-white infographic, so the learning feels visual, active, and easy to follow.

What makes this book different:

  • High resolution black and white illustrated pages that help readers see the idea, not just read about it.
  • Everyday answers to real-life questions about toilets, rockets, bicycles, electricity, stomachs, phones, clouds, and more.
  • Two-page learning spreads with a clear explanation on one side and a detailed visual on the other.
  • Simple, confidence-building language that makes big ideas feel friendly and understandable.
  • Words to know, cool facts, and real-life links that help readers remember what they learn.
  • 10 printable bonus activities included through the in-book bonus page.
A strong gift for curious kids, teens and adults.

This book is built for kids, teens and adults who ask how things work, parents who want screen-free learning for their children, and families who enjoy books that can be opened again and again.

Give a child, teen or adult a book that turns everyday life into discovery.
