This book is awesome!Summary:Modern, cool pictures. Includes many girls and people from all cultures. Fun information for young people to learn, presented an engaging way. I highly recommend this book for anyone probably around 2-5 years old.Longer version:I bought this book for my daughter because it is very different from all of her other books. She is almost 3 years old and has been interested in tools a little bit, curious about screwdrivers and hammers, and she is starting to understand the idea that different people have different jobs, so I thought this would be a fun way to teach her a bit more about that. It is. It has just the right amount of new information, and it is presented in this fun way where it shows you the tools (cute drawings of them) and then you can guess what person uses the tools. When you see the answer it shows a picture of a couple people using the tools to do their job.For example, the first pages say:"To build a HOUSE, start down low.[on a sign] WHOSE TOOLS ARE THOSE? Do you know?"[and on the opposite spread there is a cute picture of a chalk line, chisel, jointer, float]Then you open the right page from the middle open to the left and it shows a spread that says:[on a sign] "the MASON'S!"and the mason is saying "I smooth the cement until it's flat!"So the tools and occupations included in this book are:1. chalk line, chisel, jointer, float --> mason2. hammer, level, square, saw --> carpenter3. utility knife, snips, nail gun, ladder --> roofer4. screwdriver, drill, linesman pliers, wire stripper --> electrician5. adjustable wrench, pipe wrench, pipe cutter, pipe tape --> plumber6.
