A fun little encyclopedia to learn about the world of craftsmen! Do you know ... ... what exactly the job of illuminator or cabinetmaker consists of? ... how are the instruments made? ... what tools does the shoemaker work with? ... where does the word "carpenter" come from? ... what is the gauge or mallet used for? You will discover it by immersing yourself in this fascinating book, which presents the trades of the craft industry through the tools used by each craftsman.
Documentary book and picture book, punctuated with anecdotes, fun and informative, it is above all intended for young readers. But the older ones, brothers, sisters and parents, will be able to let themselves be taken by the charm of the drawings and will undoubtedly make unexpected discoveries there. I am also convinced that at school, this album can be a great resource for enriching the vocabulary of students, from kindergarten to fifth grade. And who knows if it will not be at the origin of some craft vocations?
