What Can You Do With a Toolbox?

From HGTV stars, cousins, and best friends John Colaneri and Anthony Carrino comes a fun-filled picture book that introduces young readers to the tools in a toolbox and how to use them.

A hammer. Nails. A screwdriver. How do we use them?

Using simple language, cousins Anthony and John introduce kids to tools and their uses. As their construction project grows, so does the number of kids helping. At the end, they reveal exactly what you can do with a toolbox:

We can build a playground!

Anthony and John, better known as The Cousins, made their television debut in 2011 with multiple hit shows on HGTV, including Cousins Undercover, Kitchen Nightmares, America’s Most Desperate Kitchens, and Cousins on Call. Over the past couple of years they have become regulars on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Rachael Ray Show, and the Today show. They are not only first cousins, but also best friends who have helped many families throughout the country. Their love for design and construction is a passion they have had since they were children. Boys and girls of all ages have inspired The Cousins to write What Can You Do with a Toolbox? to show them the power of building with their hands. Anthony and John want all children to dream big and know anything is possible with their imagination. Learn more at AnthonyCarrino.com and JohnColaneri.com.
