Customer Reviews

This is a great interactive book

I am a nanny. I get this present almost every year for any family I work with that has 3yr to 5yr old children. This book is not for children who are hard on their toys. This book is great because children can play with the thick cardboard toy tools in the book or around the house. Any child that I have ever sat for has played for about 30 min with this book at a time. You have to remember that this book is not a toy, but children love to play with the tools so much that you would think it was one. Any book that can keep a 4 year olds interest for 5 min. is a keeper in my book. Plus they are learning at the same time...without something that requires batteries!! Goodluck and I hope you find this book as enjoyable as I know your children will.

A great book for the little Mr. Fix-it

My son is almost three years old and absolutely loves this book! He enjoys taking the tools out and hammering, sawing, screwing, drilling, and drawing plans of the things he's going to build. This book is also a puzzle as the tools only fit into the slots a certain way. It's a great book for children who are fascinated with construction and tools.

The Most Favored Christmas Gift!!

I'm a big fan of interactive and pop-ups and this book is no disappointment! My 4 year old son loves this working tool book, and true, if you want it preserved, supervise, but what fun is that? I'd say it's for ages 4 to 9 - to age 94! I had fun with him. The cardboard is as sturdy and thick as possible - get two if you really care about replacing parts. The Sketch pad in the front of the book created all types of creative imagery play for my son. He definitely favored this gift over modern commercial type toys. FUN FUN FUN!!

My 3 year old loves this book!

My son got this book a few months before his 3rd birthday. It has been his favorite book and his favorite toy since then. His 3rd birthday was last week and after quickly sorting through all his presents, he went back to his tool book. The tools are great fun and much sturdier than I thought they would be. It's a self storing toy - which I always love - and my son takes pride in always putting the tools back in their place (he's not usually that neat!) We have a huge collection of much more life-like tools, but our son likes these best.

Great stuff for the starting mechanic

Bought this title for my son (20 months old). He has allways been into tools and other hardware. Books has never been on his toplist - that is until we bought this book. He just loves it - and I think this will open him up to other books as well. I highly reccomend this title. And by the way. Even though english is not the language of our family, this book works just fine anyway.
