The new house in the country needs fixing. Father is hammering, Mother is sewing, Matthew is painting, and Adam is chopping. But four-year-old Tony isn't doing anything because they won't let him help. "You are too small," they all say... or so they think. So, with his dog at his side, Tony goes for a walk in the woods and decides that he will work on his own project. And that is exactly what he does -- with mud and water, leaves and grass, trees, and pebbles and stones.

Back in print for its thirty-year anniversary, Tony's Hard Work Day celebrates the imagination and determined spirit in every child.
