Hammers, Drills, and Wrenches

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.
