Hoping to find some suggestions here. My little girl is 9 and has asked for a certain book for Christmas. She wants a non fiction illustrated book about tools, machines, building things etc. Obviously the hard part here is finding something illustrated that fits that category. She absolutely loves Julia Rothmans book “Farm Anatomy” and wants something just like that but for tools. She loves learning the names for everything and how things are used/made. Please help!

The Home Depot Big Book of Tools by Kimberly Weinberger
The Way Things Work by David Macaulay
Your kid is super cool!
David Macaulay’s *The Way Things Work* is the classic here. There are newer (and older) books about specific things: cars, boats, trains, the underground; or more general guides to physics for kids or books about inventors and inventions, but this is the best book for exactly what your daughter wants.
The Works: Anatomy of a City by Kate Ascher
Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words by Randall Munroe
You can try DK books, they have several for children and even maybe the adults may fit: [https://dk.com/](https://dk.com/)
