My Little Red Toolbox

Summary: Boring!
Review: 1. It needs an adult to get the pieces out of the book.
2. Once out, they held the attention of our 4-year-old for about 5 minutes. They don't "do" anything.
3. Would have been a complete waste of money, apart from the fact that it kept our 16-month-old amused for 30 minutes.

Summary: Great stuff for the starting mechanic
Review: Bought this title for my son (20 months old). He has allways been into tools and other hardware. Books has never been on his toplist - that is until we bought this book. He just loves it - and I think this will open him up to other books as well. I highly reccomend this title. And by the way. Even though english is not the language of our family, this book works just fine anyway.

Summary: This is a great interactive book
Review: I am a nanny. I get this present almost every year for any family I work with that has 3yr to 5yr old children. This book is not for children who are hard on their toys. This book is great because children can play with the thick cardboard toy tools in the book or around the house. Any child that I have ever sat for has played for about 30 min with this book at a time. You have to remember that this book is not a toy, but children love to play with the tools so much that you would think it was one. Any book that can keep a 4 year olds interest for 5 min. is a keeper in my book. Plus they are learning at the same time...without something that requires batteries!! Goodluck and I hope you find this book as enjoyable as I know your children will.

Summary: rapidly destroyed
Review: If you like toys which won't hang around for years this is perfect for you. My son wanted to really screw and pound and had a little difflculty at first understanding the limitations of these tools and keeping them in the context of this book. There are many better choices for play tools out there, save yourself from having to deal with the disapointment of your child when his screwdriver or drill tears in two.

Summary: My Little Red tool Box
Review: My son recieved this book as a christmas gift when he was 3. He has spent hours playing with it. He loves having his own safe tools to use anytime he wants. These tools have really held up at our house and they have had alot of use. I would recommend this book for its introduction to shapes and counting along with the wonderful illustrations and concept.
