Purchase options and add-ons

Albert has a tool for every job, and he's never too busy or too tired to fix things for his neighbors.

Albert is always on the lookout for things to fix. If a hinge is rusty, he oils it. If a roof is leaky, he patches it. When Mr. Jensen's old green pickup needs a new motor, Albert hoists up the truck and drops it in. All his neighbors count on Albert to help them.

But one day Albert is too sick to get out of bed. He's dizzy and his bones ache. What will happen when Albert is the one that needs help?

Author Janet Lord's simple story of generosity repaid is complemented by artist Julie Paschkis's colorful, folk-style illustrations. The result is a timeless story that celebrates the importance of helping others and the value of community.

Review

"A welcome dose of old-fashioned neighborliness."—School Library Journal

★ "Lord's rhythmic, simple text is perfectly cadenced for reading aloud, while Paschkis' cheerful illustrations, filled with scrolling designs and smiling friends, reinforce the sense of the close, busy community working together."—Booklist, Starred Review

"This is a warmly affecting story of (multicultural) community, greatly enhanced by Paschkis's stylish watercolor illustrations."—Kirkus Reviews

"Albert the Fix-it Man" tells the story of a man who always takes time to help his friends; when he gets sick, the return the favor. The book has a diverse cast of characters and plenty to entertain young kids (a sneeze the reader can really ham up, a kitty you can spot on almost every page, etc.).

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2016
Sisters, Janet Lord and Julie Paschkis team up again with this wonderfully folksy art picture book, 'ALBERT THE FIX-IT MAN'.

Albert is never bored as he is always looking for things to fix. If he has nothing at home to fix, he is always helping his neighbors out. but what happens if Albert were to get sick? Will things have to be thrown away with no one to fix them? Find out.

This is a terrific feel good book for children.
