Trade Review
“In this book, a young boy wishes for a special house for his doll collection on his birthday; however, he receives a surprise gift from his grandpa—a toolbox. He is unenthusiastic as he receives it, listens to Grandpa’s description of its contents, and then proceeds to happily offer readers instructions for what to do with an unwanted gift. He plans outrageous solutions until he unexpectedly finds the toolbox to be useful. Brief text and colorful, detailed illustrations follow young boy as he discovers tools and his own creativity and his appreciation for his talented grandpa grows. They end up building a beautiful dollhouse together. Diverse families from the neighborhood take interest in the young boy’s blueprints, and at the end, a grand backyard tree house is planned by all the children in the neighborhood. VERDICT A suggested general purchase for young readers in all libraries.” —School Library Journal
