Tools, by Tara Miura

Learn the correct names for a variety of tools grouped by their associated job: carpenter, tailor, mechanic, doctor, electrician, gardener, chef, watchmaker, barber, and painter. The labeled tools are presented before the job allowing listeners to guess before turning the page. Graphic illustrations created on computer are pleasing for their simplicity and focus on the topic.

Grades K-2

I really liked the clean illustrations of all of the tools. I feel this would also be a great addition to the community helpers portion of the curriculum. It lends itself to a whole host of activities such as sorting, figuring out how things are used--fun centers come to mind here! I will second this one.
