4.0 out of 5 stars A good overview of basic hand tools and their use., November 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tool Book (Hardcover)

My 22 month old son loves this book. He brings it to me or my wife several times a day for reading. Not much text, good illustrations. Tools are grouped by function (tools that make holes, tools that measure etc.). A few of the tools are obsolete (like the bit & brace) but can be found in the workshops of grandparents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the little carpenter, October 20, 2007

This review is from: Tool Book (Paperback)

My 3-year-old loves this book. It covers in clear illustrations and simple words most of the tools that a carpenter or a do-it-yourselfer owns. There aren't any power tools, so it's a little dated, but it's the best book of this type that I've found for the little guys.

I purchased this for a 2 1/2 year old boy. He loves tools and was excited to go through this with his daddy. I like how it gives names for many types of tools even ones that are not used frequently.
