Booklist - 02/01/2024 Once upon a time, Nail was stuck in a piece of Wood. He called for help to get him unstuck, but Hammer wouldn’t listen and only pounded him further in, and the other Fix-Its (Screwdrivers, Pliers, Saw, Tape Measure, etc.) were no help either. Finally, Hammer comes back, ready to listen, and they all work together to pry Nail out of Wood to freedom! As with other easy readers in the I Can Read Comics! line, the front matter of cartooning basics explains thoroughly and expertly how an emerging reader can successfully read a graphic novel. The cute and simple story packs in a surprising amount of educational content, from the various purposes of construction kit tools and active problem-solving skills to the value of listening before taking action and the success that can be achieved through teamwork. The artwork is clear, simple, and charming—who knew that a hammer could be made to look so adorable or a nail so frustrated?—and supports the story and its happy ending well. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
