When everything in the new house needs "fixing," Daddy brings the narrator and his younger sister to the local hardware store. As they shop, the text introduces simple tools and materials as well as more complex vocabulary. The straightforward narration and friendly mixed-media collage illustrations emphasize the child's perspective, warmly welcoming young tool lovers and others on this timeless small-town excursion.
