More About the Author
Mavis Smith grew up in a typical suburban town in New Jersey, and has been drawing for as long as she can remember. By age five, she was attending art classes at the local community college. She later studied art and design at Pratt Institute in New York City, and after graduation spent a few wonderful, albeit turbulent, years travelling through Europe. It was in Amsterdam that she met Monika Penders, a local children's TV host, and they created their first children's book together, Ik en Jij.
Returning home to New York, Mavis continued to write and illustrate children's books. She is the illustrator of over sixty books for children, including You Can't Smell a Flower with your Ear by Joanna Cole, and the popular Fluffy the Classroom Guinea Pig series by Kate Mc Mullan.
In recent years she has been concentrating on her fine art, with a particular interest in the ancient medium of egg tempera. Mavis Smith Studio is located in New Hope, PA. Her work is represented in public and private collections and museums throughout the country. You can view her paintings online at www.mavissmithart.com.

Tying My Shoes is Fun,
By sela (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tie a Bow, Ben Bunny: A Lacing Book with Step-By-Step Instructions (Spiral-bound)
After spending some time trying to teach my 3 year old how to tie his shoes. I found "Tie A Bow, Ben Bunny". Shortly after we got this book he was not only tying his shoes but begging to tie mine as well. This is a sturdy book, it has very colorful laces which makes learning how to tie fun. The child will need to know right from left for this book. It teaches using the bunny ear method(loop to loop). What a great book:)

This review is from: Tie a Bow, Ben Bunny: A Lacing Book with Step-By-Step Instructions (Spiral-bound)
We got this book from a friend several years ago, when we were trying to teach our autistic young son to tie shoes. He had no interest into tying shoes so we gave up after a while and decided to just buy shoes that were easier for him, like slip on or velcro shoes. Our son is now a teenager and velcro shoes are not quite a choice these days. He still has fine motor, or rather, hand-eye coordination delays, and it's hard for him to complete easy tasks such as tying shoes, or cutting his food. However, recently I "rediscovered" the book and started working with him at home, and he sure enough picked up really quick! It's been a couple of weeks and he's been able to pass the laces through, then make bunny ears and tie a knot in it. Some time he will even try the wrap around the bunny ear instead of the two. He has much more patience and he is enjoying being successful with such simple help like this book has been. He reads the story and then tie the bow on the page, then moves on to the next page. It's so great to see him happy to succeed. I would definitely reccommend this book to anyone with young kids that have little patience and older kids with fine motor delays that want to do things on their own. :)

I had to add my own ties to the book, but it was at a used price.
