A children's picture book about magical tools that secretly come to life after a young kid's drawing lands beside their toolbox. Working together, the tools race against the ticking clock to build the drawing before anyone discovers them. The story also introduces early concepts of telling time and reading a clock through its countdown-to-the-bell storyline. Intended for children ages 3-8.
Picture book for preschool and early elementary readers. Includes themes of teamwork, imagination, overcoming obstacles, early clock-reading and time awareness.
Psst. These tools have a secret...
When a giant sneeze
blows Pip's drawing out the window-
and it lands beside a magic toolbox-
something wonderful happens.
The tools come to life.
They build and bang and buzz and bolt...
But-uh-oh!-a squirrel sneaks closer.
A teacher passes by.
And the clock ticks faster... and faster...
Can they finish in time?
Can they hide before anyone finds out they're alive?
Welcome to The Secret Life of Tools-
where big dreams get built while no one is watching.
