From Booklist
The toolbox twins, Vincent and his dad, work together around the house. Both have boxes stocked with the tools they will need for a variety of jobs. In a representative scene, Vincent sits on the kitchen counter, working on the wheel of his toy car with a little wrench. His father uses a wrench and pliers on the pipes beneath the sink: "With pliers and wrenches, / they turn and tighten . . . / pipes that drip, / bolts that slip." Each turn of the page brings a new rhyme with either a double-page illustration or two pictures on facing pages showing the father and son at work. Colorful acrylic paintings illustrate the rhyming text in a simple, direct manner, focusing on the companionable pair and how each toolbox twin uses familiar household tools. This isn't a tool-identification guide but rather a book celebrating the solid satisfaction of working with a parent and doing a useful job. The many preschoolers who are fascinated by tools will adore this. Carolyn Phelan
