A nifty, unexpectedly sophisticated exploration of the tools and professions connected to the world of construction.

Kirkus Reviews

<p>STARRED REVIEW<br /> "Women are well represented among Datz’s carpenters, roofers, electricians, plumbers, and painters (who are drawn in a range of skin tones), providing a subtle 'you could do this, too' message that is cemented in a closing scene of two children playing with blocks in the finished house."</p>

Publishers Weekly

The precise language paired with smiling, cartoon renderings of each tool make this an accessible and fun approach to learning.
