Parent Council Reviews
Hand-size tools punch out of this sturdy book and really work. There are screws to turn with the screwdriver, bolts that turn with a wrench, a board to saw in two, and a ruler and pencil for measuring. This book keeps all three of my little boys busy! And it holds up to their use! (It's almost too good to be true.) 2000, Harcourt Brace & Company, $14.95. Ages 3 mo. to 8. Reviewer: C. Leonard-Schmidling SOURCE: Parent Council Volume 8

August 20, 2001: This book is great for young boys as well as girls. Each page contains a tool that is similar to a puzzle piece that the child can take out and use on the facing page. For example, there is a wrench and on the facing page there are small nuts to be turned by the wrench. I have given this book as a gift to many children and they all love it.
