Book Guide

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 inside.  A toolbox is a treasure trove for curious young builders.

When they're not exploring 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 still shines with well-crafted simplicity that calls to young children and their need to make something that is uniquely their own.
