Workshop

The dazzling cut-paper artistry of Caldecott medalist David Wisniewski combines with Andrew Clement's free-verse celebration of woodworking tools to tell the story of a surprise in the making. The evocative description of each workshop tool 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 own. Full color.
