Customer Reviews

A good book but maybe not an excellent purchase...

A carpenter, a juggler, a football player, a dog-walker, an artist, a barber, a conductor, and gardener are the people your child will meet when reading this book. The scenario is as follows: Who uses this? the author asks. The print is in large letters. On the following page is an item such as a hammer. On the following set of pages there is a picture of a carpenter building a home, followed by a picture of a little girl building something with wood, nails and a hammer. I said in my title that this was a good book but maybe not an excellent purchase. The reason I think this is because after a few reads I think it might become obsolete. My 4 yo knew all of the items and people except for the baton the conductor uses and soon lost interest. My almost 3 y.o. still likes it however after many reads because of the pictures and because he is still learning about jugglers and such. So I guess, it depends on your child and what they like and whether they have any siblings or friends who could use the book later. Hope this helps.

good for a music program

Try reading this book to kids of any age--even preschool--while a child plays A-E-E-E-G on the xylophone every time you read "Who uses this?" The kids like it!
