This story sounds incredibly fun and creative! Although I haven't read the book yet, I am thrilled by the concept of tools coming to life and collaborating to solve problems. The author's ability to weave in important lessons about teamwork and even woodworms is impressive—it's a fantastic way for kids to learn while enjoying the narrative.

My personal opinion about this book is that it tells a warm story about the character and the toolbox. My first reaction after reading the toolbox was it firstly felt like - it's "upset' or "angry". I think it more seems for kids like 5-12 years old they would love the pace of the story and it's continuity. The book is not very long. Lastly I would say the thing that I most loved about this book it - Talking Tools.

I am anxious to delve into this book to read more about the tool box and how the air used the story to communicate themes like team work, and cooperation. I can't wait to get started

This is a great way to learn about different tools found in a toolbox and I am certain that children can learn easily in this manner. It is good to see that the book goes towards the tools themselves and also sheds light on some animals like woodworms. Overall, I like the book; many thanks for the amazing review, @Jelani Trotter.

It’s educational and interesting using toolboxes as characters of the book. It is easy to understand but for kids it would have been perfect if each tool from the toolbox had a name, but it’s still understandable just that it’d be more fun that way. And it also teaches the importance of team work and helping others.

Nice review! Angry Toolbox Adventures sounds like a book that my grandsons would love to read. Animated tools and a talking toolbox is a great idea. Poor grandpa. He doesn't remember to close the basement door.

At first, "The angry toolbox adventures" by Mike J. B. sounded unusual, but I was impressed to know that the author cleverly imagined and developed the characters, using these tools to teach children such priceless lessons as teamwork and friendship. This is impressive. Highly recommended.

Why is the toolbox named Angry?" was all I could think of when I saw the book's title. I guess the book would hold some form of explanation for this, and I am excited to find out. Congratulations on BOTD.

I appreciate the way the author made use of beautiful pictures to help drive home his point. The best way to capture the attention of a child is through their eye first. I also loved that the book talked about acceptable social behaviors a child should adopt. Awesome review.

What an unusual story about talking toolboxes and animated tools. Something I found really exciting about this story is how the animated tools and the toolboxes work as a team to solve "simple" and "more complex" problems.

It seemed a bit strange to use the toolbox in this context until I found out that the author is a retired electrical engineer and understood how this idea could have been born. I really like the concept of learning by examples and pity that my own kids are all grown up for the book. Reading it to children will do worlds of good and I congratulate the author with BOTD!
