Tools (First Discovery Book)
PreSchool-Grade 1-With a few exceptions, Tools covers mainly those items that could be found in most homes: drills, various kinds of pliers, wall anchors, saws, hammers, etc. Fire Fighting introduces all kinds of equipment including trucks, ladders, protective clothing, radios, boats, and planes. However, one picture is captioned "Jaws of Life," but the jaws are not visible in the drawing. A brief history of fire is included. The text features one sentence per page with labeled illustrations of various items. Vocabulary in both books is simple, accurate, and appropriate. Each title has five acetate overlays that enhance the design. Small children will enjoy the bright colors and many objects to identify.Eldon Younce, Harper Elementary School, KSCopyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
