Look inside this well-loved toolbox-there is so much to discover! It holds strong wrenches that turn, pliers that pinch, and sandpaper that smoothes. There are nails, screws, and a hammer. A toolbox is a treasure trove for curious young builders. When they're not running to explore their own tool collections, children will be glued to this book, exploring the shapes, names, and useful jobs of common hand tools. Anne and Harlow Rockwell's preschool classic, for the first time in board book format, still shines with a well-crafted simplicity that speaks to the desire young children feel to make something uniquely their own.

My 2 year old simply adores this book! He is obsessed with all things related to building and this book covers it! It's a fairly basic board book, but has pictures of all of the tools that he likes, so he's able to look at the pictures and memorize what each thing is. Very cute for a tool-obsessed toddler!
My four-year-old, a tool fanatic, loved this book. Simple illustrations and words label several tools from a boy's father's toolbox and clearly describe their basic uses. My son "reads" it over and over again.
We gave this book and the Green Toys Tool Set to my daughter and she LOVED it. It is obviously dated (who has a plane or a wooden folding tape measure any more?) but she wants to read it over and over and she names the tools. We got her a cheap tape measure and small clamp to put in the box so she has more of the tools, but she is happy to just read the book over and over.
This was my son's favorite book when he was about 1 1/2 and up! We read it ALL the time! The only downside was that when he was 2, he used tools to remove the trap from under the sink, but just like in the book, he put a bucket under it so water didn't go everywhere. He's twenty now, and just bought his first set of tools. I told him "The Toolbox!" and he hugged me and said "Yes, Mom, just like in "The Toolbox!" He still remembered his favorite book! I'm buying this for him to give to his kids someday! :)
It was ok but not as awesome as 'tap tap bang bang' by garcia..The 'tap tap bang bang' was so colorful and cute &Plus it rhymed . 'Tap tap bang bang' was a really fun read for my 2 & half year old. She couldn't gt enough of it. In comparison this book 'the toolbox' lacked bright colors & fun wordings. It did include a line or two about bunch of tools but my daughter didn't really get interested. If I hadn't read the other book, maybe I wouldn't have disliked 'the toolbox' as much. I am not sure
Fun and entertaining for a short while for my 2 year old grandson.If he can get to his grand dads real tools, now that's entertainment.The box is helpful for storage. In fact, I am using for a craft box now.
I remembered this book from when I was a child. Love that it's still available. Very simple sentences and pictures on each page. If I had one complaint, it would be that it's a boy child and it's specifically the father's toolbox--why can't it be mom's tools, or the family's tools? Still a gem.
vintage tools, all of which I have, but more as curiosities or antiques. I like the book, but if you're expecting cordless drill/drivers, ratcheting box end wrenches or plaslode nail guns ... well, no. It's charming and even in 1971 it was a bit dated. If you love tools and want your child to love tools, get it. They can see what their grandfather or great grandfather had to work with.
