5.0 out of 5 stars It did the trick..., January 20, 2000

By	Mrs. Kelly A Bell (Colorado Springs, Co United States) - See all my reviews

After spending a few months trying to teach my then four year old how to tie her shoes (and succeeding only in frustrating her), her babysitter gave her this book as a gift. Within a week or two, she was tying her shoes perfectly! I like the books construction (it's a board book) and the model shoe and illustrations that teach shoe tying with a little catchy poem. The shoe model at the bottom of the book has one lace in it that is red on one end and yellow on the other and the different colors makes shoe tying easier for beginners. This book is now my "standard" gift to children turning four.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but dangerous for young toddlers, February 5, 1999

By A Customer

The book is a wonderful book, but the lace is not anchored to the book. Your toddler can pull it out and wrap it around his or her neck. Make sure you anchor it to the book (with glue or tape on the back)

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful way to teach children how to tie shoes!, January 2, 2003

By	"annewhitten" (Annandale, VA) - See all my reviews

My 4-year-old daughter practiced with this book for about two weeks and is now the only child in her class that can tie her own shoes. She is so proud of herself! I think this is a wonderful book, with an excellent use of rhyme to teach someone how to tie shoes. I would recommend it for any child who is ready to try to tie their shoes on their own.
