Who's going to mend these broken toys?  Which tools will we need?  And when they're fixed, where shall we keep them?  Helping with real tasks is a natural progression from pretend play, and is a crucial stage in a child's development.  Achieving a shared goal encourages a sense of responsibility, and develops many skills useful in later life.  Simple conversational text and lively illustrations are carefully designed to encourage further dialogue between reader and child.
