The Toolbox [Board Book]

Book Description

Publication Date: October 3, 2006 | Age Level: 2 and up

Look inside this well-loved toolbox--there is so much to discover! It holds strong wrenches that turn, pliers that pinch, and sandpaper that smoothes. There are nails, screws, and a hammer. A toolbox is a treasure trove for curious young builders. When they're not running to explore their own tool collections, children will be glued to this book, exploring the shapes, names, and useful jobs of common hand tools. Anne and Harlow Rockwell's preschool classic, for the first time in board book format, still shines with a well-crafted simplicity that speaks to the desire young children feel to make something uniquely their own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for My Little Handyman May 10, 2000

My four-year-old, a tool fanatic, loved this book. Simple illustrations and words label several tools from a boy's father's toolbox and clearly describe their basic uses. My son "reads" it over and over again.

My 2 year old simply adores this book! He is obsessed with all things related to building and this book covers it! It's a fairly basic board book, but has pictures of all of the tools that he likes, so he's able to look at the pictures and memorize what each thing is. Very cute for a tool-obsessed toddler!
