Whose Tools? (A Guess-the-Job Book)

I bought this for sharing with my grandchild to start explaining the different tools. I like the presentation (text and drawings) as well as the book's construction. This is a great educational starter. It should last for current and future grandkids (always hoping).

My 2 year son is obsessed with tools and already knew the names of most of the basic tools. I read a lot of reviews searching for a book that would keep his attention and where he could learn more. The format of the book is fun, with pictures and names of tools and you lift the flap to figure out who uses them. My husband and I have even learned a lot of names of less common tools and what they are used for from this book as well! The pictures are fun and I am sure it will be a favorite for some time!

My grandsons need books early to acquaint them with tools. This worke well.

Fabulous concept- I've been looking for toddler tool books that are the next step up from baby and provide a bit more detail. This seems to be one of the better ones. I like the introduction of more advanced vocabulary to satisfy curious children who long to take it all in. However, personally I don't care for the busy nature of the layout and illustrations. I find the faces on the tools distracting as children (and adults for that matter) are trying to absorb a new tool shape and it is kind of hard with the busy-ness of the drawings. I think it would have benefitted from a simpler, clearer layout- not sacrificing detail but just more visually clear. Even the people are kind of distracting from the tools and actions illustrated. My tool-loving almost 2 year old likes it ok, but I think given the distractions I mentioned it is best suited for 2.5-4 when one could look past the funny faces and really point out and discuss how the Mason is laying the foundation, etc. and maybe have some fun trying to solve the riddle and predict whose tools are depicted before opening the flap ("to build a house start down low. Whose tools are those? do you know? Answer: Mason- laying foundation).

My son (21 months) loves to help when dad is using tools and this book does a great job naming them with fun illustrations. He has mom read it to him every night before bed and almost has all of the tools memorized in less than 2 weeks.

Such a cute and well made book.

My son LOVES Whose Truck? and I was elated to see that Toni Buzzeo had another similar book. There are only 2 books in the Whose? Series and would love to see a third come out!! Toni has published many books and I really adore her writing style.

Nice thick book with sturdy pages and flags. No ripping here! Cute photos and lots of tools described.

Awesome book for little ones. We’re learning all kinds of new tool names!

Very useful and engaging for young learners.

kid loves it

appropriate for small children, text asks questions like who uses pipes and wrenches? The child opens the fold-out to reveal that it's the plumber!

It’s a great story. I was a little surprised that the overall dimensions of the book are smaller than one called Whose boats which I had purchased at winners. It will be a gift for our yet to be born grandson.
