Workshop Hardback picture book - 1999
by Clements, Andrew; David Wisniewski
Summary
The dazzling cut-paper artistry of Caldecott medalist David Wisniewski combines with Andrew Clements's free-verse celebration of woodworking tools to tell the story of a surprise in the making. The evocative description of each workshop tool-ruler, axe, saw, hammer, and the rest-is accompanied by a vivid, dramatically composed illustration showing how it is used in the step-by-step construction of an ornate, old-fashioned carousel. An eager young apprentice assists one craftsman after another as the project takes shape and is rewarded with a toolbox of his won. Young wood-working enthusiasts will enjoy the affectionate and knowledgeable portraits of familiar tools as well as an acclaimed artist's vision of the magic simple tools can do.

Media reviews
"unusual, highly imaginative book...A book whose information is balanced by its beauty." Booklist, ALA
Handsomely illustrated with cut-paper art by Wisniewski (The Secret Knowledge of Grown-Ups, 1998, etc.), this homage to tools from Clements (Frindle, 1996, etc.) conveys a sense of their beauty and mystery. The making of an old-fashioned carousel is the never-mentioned, ever-present event as a baker's dozen of toolsruler, saw, grinder, screwdriver, wrench, etc.and the toolbox are introduced in a few lines each, one to each spread. The clipped text evokes not just the attributes of the toolthat the wrench wrestles with its work, that the axe finds the board that hides in the logbut a hint, if fanciful, of their character: drills are patient, rulers know, knives are edgy, the toolbox remembers. The text is occasionally staccato (Toolbox carries tools home. Workshop is home') but mostly has a good poetic pulse. The illustrations are pure entertainment, slowly revealing that the workmen and apprentice are using their fine old tools to put together a turn-of-the-century carousel.
Kirkus Reviews
"Balance, the center of any craft or spiritual practice, is the soul of this concise and beautifully designed book." Publishers Weekly, Starred
