A rhyming introduction to hand tools

Hammers, hand drills, screwdrivers, saws, and other familiar tools take turns in a collection of poems about what they do. The book connects tools with building, creating, and fixing, while noting the role the right tool can play in safety. Its poem-by-poem format gives each tool a moment in the spotlight, accompanied by illustrations that offer young readers a closer look at common equipment and its uses.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 curious about tools and how things are made
  • Young makers who enjoy rhyming poems and illustrated nonfiction
  • Families who like exploring hardware stores or building projects together

Book overview

From hammers to hand drills to screwdrivers to saws, these fresh, invitingly illustrated poems, each highlighting a different hand tool in the shed, will engage aspiring carpenters and curious kids.

Tools are like an extra set of hands. Tools can make building, creating, and fixing things go smoothly. The right tool for a tricky job can even keep you safe. So put on your safety goggles and watch a parade of hand tools tackle some very special jobs! Smart rhymes by Hope Vestergaard and friendly pictures by David Slonim give young makers a close-up look at common tools and their amazing uses--perfectly suited for both little readers new to the subject and those whose family excursions to the local hardware store are a regular treat.
