Tool Book (New & Updated)

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.
