## Description

How Food Works: The Facts Visually Explained (How Things Work) (DK How Stuff Works) : DK: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Aaaaaawesome! - This purchase wasn't for any child - but for myself. It is aaaaaaaaaawesome! I have great difficulty keeping focused, this book is VERY good, brilliant quality (photos, binding). The hardback book in the hand, or resting on a pillow in my lap on the couch, or in bed - it's a great read. You don't feel trapped if you have to close the book (for things like sleep, cooking, getting other things done lol). But you can pick up this book and open to any section and *learn*. On another note: I think this would be a brilliant guide for younger readers too of course! It's VERY good - clean/clear writing, and as mentioned, wonderful photos to go with the learning journey (and you simply will NOT beat the price - this is something I feel very strongly should have been in *schools* as a textbook - their whole LINE should have been!) AWESOME! I am trying to figure out which one I want next lol!!! HIGHLY Recommend for all ages!!
Review: Simple visual guide - Another triumph from DK publishing. Never disappointed with the quality of DK books. Well researched and informative with detailed illustrations. For anyone inquisitive about the science of food; this is a superb book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book!
*by C***T on 6 March 2021*

Lately I became very interested in health and nutrition and I was searching for some books.I am so glad that I came across this book too.Love that it is visually explained so that you can understand better what you are reading.Also images help a lot with memorising stuff easier so I find it very helpful to me.The facts from every subject are very interesting too.Excited to learn new things from it!
