Tied Up in Knots

This is a great story to teach character to children. I read it to my 1st grade students and created a number of lessons about cooperation and working together. These books are great.

Tied Up In Knots is a story about two stubborn mules who have trouble finding a solution to their problem. As their two young owners, Benny and Sally observe, the stubborn mules become more and more tied up as their problem continues. Sometimes it's difficult to see our way through a problem, especially for children, and it may take a little outside help to intervene. The stubborn mules come to a compromise and Benny and Sally learn a lesson in sharing and also come to resolve some of their own differences.

It's easy for kids to learn lessons they need to learn when they see the story told about animals dealing with the issues they deal with. This is a super story that teaches that sharing is good and brings good results and being selfish hurts you most of all.

Tied Up In Knots, was an adorable book, with very cute illustrations. I really liked this story. The two mules were just like their owners. Until they finally figured out how to share. I loved the colors used in the pictures and the expressions of the characters. This story should be purchased by all parents. Good job Sommer-time books.

All children everywhere have struggled with the concept of sharing. Getting along with you siblings and others can be challenging for young children. This story works out those conflicts creatively through the idea of teamwork. What a great book to entertain your children and teach them a valuable truth.
