小朋友们对世界如何运转充满了疑问；过程和幕后的阴谋。为什么轻轻拍一下开关灯会亮？超市的奶酪怎么会出自一头奶牛？发送短信时会发生什么？冲马桶时便便会去哪里？（！）这些非常好的问题（都做了解释）——和更多问题《普通事物的日常旅行》中都有。每个过程的解释都是从头开始再到一个令人满意的结论，配有生动、流畅的插图和清晰、口语化的文本。除了物理过程，读者们还可了解更抽象的概念，如信息和金钱，以及生态方面重要的过程，包括回收和水循环。

Young children are full of questions about how the world works; the processes and machinations behind the scenes. Why does a light come on when you flick a switch? How can cheese from the supermarket have come out of a cow? What happens when you send a text? Where does your poo go when you flush?(!) All very good questions, and all explained—along with many more—in The Everyday Journey of Ordinary Things. With graphic, flowing illustrations and clear, colloquial chunks of text, each process is explained from its early beginnings to a satisfying conclusion. Alongside physical processes, readers are also introduced to the journeys of more abstract concepts such as information and money, as well as ecologically important processes including recycling and the water cycle. Visually arresting, informative and accessible, this is the book for every child who ever wondered, “How?”
