Whose Tools?

Toni Buzzeo, illustrated by Jim Datz

This board book follows the construction of a house from its earliest stages through a series of job-based riddles. A spread presents four labeled tools and asks which worker uses them; a foldout then identifies the job and shows the workers at work. The book covers six kinds of craftspeople and 24 tools, including equipment used by a roofer. Men and women from culturally diverse backgrounds appear among the workers.
