This photographic nonfiction picture book is a great introduction to the concept of tools for preschoolers and kindergartners

Do you use tools? Sure you do, anytime you eat with a spoon or drink with a straw or write with a pen! A French chef flipping crepes with her spatula; Salvadoran fishers mending nets with their marlinespikes; an American girl carving a jack-o'-lantern with a knife--in every country of the world, people of all ages use tools to make their lives easier.

As with all of the books in this classic series, a broad spectrum of men and women from around the world help make the information relevant and easily digestible.
