review 1: For the DIY lover in your house. I can think of at least one kid here at the library that would adore this. There isn't much plot, but the illustrations are cute. Far and away the best part for me was the author's description of his materials, or "tools." Be sure you read the whole book, even that seemingly boring publication information, or you might miss something very interesting!The tools need a place to lay their head at night, so they club together to build a shed around the workbench.
review 2: Four and a half stars. Charming, brightly colored comic book style illustrations tell the story of a group of animated tools that work together to build a toolshed. There are lots of puns and wordplay-the vise suggests getting a 'grip on things' to which the notep... moread responds 'Write on!' Balancing the goofy humor is the comfort of the straight forward, step by step, process of careful building and the satisfaction of seeing the messy yard scattered with tools transformed into an organized shed with a place for everything. Lots of labeling and building vignettes help teach the names and functions of a wide range of tools. less
