The author zeros in on the effect our hands have played in the development of the most useful tools we need to  function in our everyday lives.  For example, our hands were the first “handy” set of chipsticks for picking up foods…and a primitive visor before baseball caps were designed…and the first fan to keep ourselves cool.  Indeed, nature is the mother of much invention.  Written in rhyme that engages the ear…and fabulous photos that engages the eyes, this text begs to be read aloud to a small group of preschoolers.
