(2) PS Illustrated by Harlow Rockwell. "In my cellar there is a toolbox. It is dark brown where hands have touched it. / It has a saw / and a hammer and nails." With unadorned economy of words and illustrations, this book celebrates the simple beauty of useful tools. The appreciative portraits make ingenious use of watercolor to show textures and surfaces of wood and metal.
