A visual introduction to tools and how they work

Rulers, hammers, saws, drills, nuts, and bolts provide a starting point for exploring the tools people use to make things. Clear diagrams show basic hand tools in action, while simple text explains their uses and introduces the idea of tools as simple machines. The updated material also connects tools with the workers who use them and the places where tools are found, giving the subject a practical frame beyond naming individual objects.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children curious about tools, building, crafting, or making things
  • Early readers exploring nonfiction about technology and machinery
  • Caregivers or educators introducing basic hand tools and simple machines

Book overview

Gail Gibbon's bestselling Tool Book is new and updated! This classic introduces kids to tools that measure, screw, scrape, and more.

What are tools? How do they help us make things? For little builders, crafters, and DIYers, Gail Gibbons presents the answers to those questions in this cheerful introduction to tools and what they do.

From rulers, hammers, and saws, to drills, nuts, and bolts, Gibbons covers basic hand tools and shows them in action! Clear diagrams display how tools work, accompanied by simple text that is accessible to the youngest readers. Newly added text includes facts about workers and their tools, where tools are found, and how tools are simple machines.

Gail Gibbons is the go-to source for early nonfiction for millions of educators and caregivers. As The Washington Post wrote, "Gail Gibbons has taught more preschoolers and early readers about the world than any other children's writer-illustrator."
