This board book is one I remember vaguely from childhood. It very simply illustrates what some tools are and what they do and how they're used. I can see how it might be interesting for a child who may have seen these tools before (and who hasn't?) but doesn't know what they're called. In the back of my mind, I thought that if it were written today, it might have a twist at the end where it turns out that the toolbox belongs to the child's mother instead of the father but I digress...
A great introduction to various tools. I got this out for Natalie because we see it almost every week and because we've done some improvements recently and she's seen tools about. She paid attention, but wasn't that interested in this one.
No story here, just a description of what's in dad's toolbox. Simple, easily identifiable pictures, great for a toddler who is learning to name household objects.
Very simple text which could be used, maybe skipping a few pages, for the little ones
An easy-to-read description of the basic tools found in a toolbox.

I think if I had sons this would be a favorite - I hope my nephew reads it.
Really boring children's book. The graphics were not that appealing
Charming.
This book simply shows and describes the contents of a toolbox. My tool-loving three-year-old son was mesmerized by it. And I appreciated the beautiful, clear, simple illustrations and text.
Very nice drawings. Story illustrates a boy seeing various tools in his father's tool box. Very nice art (e.g., one drawing shows a set of well oiled work gloves with interesting stains).
This book gets 5 stars based on how much my son loves it. He's really into tools so this book is perfect for him. We have to read it multiple times a day but on the plus side he now knows the words pliers and wire!
A cute little book for little boys.
