100 Words For Kids: Tools was written for my son, so I could easily teach him the names of the tools in my shop. My tiny boss has directed more of my projects since he was born than I have. He has received tons of my work, and I love every minute of it.
We have so many books that teach first words for kids, but we did not have anything that taught tool words. Being a woodworker, I wanted him to learn about tools. He is too young to help out in the shop, but he is at the perfect age for learning words. 100 Words for Kids: Tools, does just that.
My tiny boss loves this book. He really likes books in general, and has tons of them. But nothing compared to seeing him playing with the book I wrote for him. There are 100 tools, placed a few on a page, each with the name nearby. It is easy to go through, and the pictures are all tools from my shop.
100 Words For Kids: Tools can be a challenge for adults too, because not everyone knows the names of a hundred different tools.
I showed this book to a few adults, and they struggled on a few of the names. The tools in the book are common to all who use tools. However, there are also a few that are specific to woodworking.
Teaching my son has been a true pleasure in my life. Learning these tool names is just one of the many ways we learn together. It will be nice when he is older and I send him into the garage looking for something, that I know he will come back with the right tool. Most people don’t know the difference between the locking pliers and the channel locks. However, my son won’t be among them.
