Parent Council Reviews

Hand-size tools punch out of this sturdy book and really work. There are screws to turn with the screwdriver, bolts that turn with a wrench, a board to saw in two, and a ruler and pencil for measuring. This book keeps all three of my little boys busy! And it holds up to their use! (It's almost too good to be true.) 2000, Harcourt Brace & Company, $14.95. Ages 3 mo. to 8. Reviewer: C. Leonard-Schmidling SOURCE: Parent Council Volume 8
