All of these questions and more are explained in this exciting book, the first of two in the Now You Know series. With the growing focus on STEM for this early age group, <i>Now You Know How It Works</i> is perfectly timed to reach that early reader and instill a love of STEM from day one.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Have you ever wondered how your bread gets toasted?
