Power Drill is new to the toolbox, Flathead and Phillip’s Head screwdriver are very impressed with how fast they can help the screws get into place without having to drill a hole first. With Power Drill on the job some of the other tools get time to relax and plan a thank you party for Power Drill, but will Power Drill have enough juice to make it to the party? A fun early reader comic that fans of the series will enjoy. Optional purchase for any library serving children in grades 1st through 3rd.

Even though I'm not so interested in tools or most things DIY, I really like this series. There's teamwork, recognition, hard work but also rest and celebration. The comic format is great for early readers and they'll be able to relate to the end discussion topic of other items that need charging (phones, tablets) versus tools that don't.
