"With pliers and wrenches, / they turn and tighten... / pipes that drip, / bolts that slip." Snappy rhymes describe the fix-it activities undertaken by young Vincent and his dad (while mom does the dishes and looks after little sis). Schaefer doesn't have to put in words what the book is really about: father–son bonding; Iwai's tranquil acrylics take care of that.
