Book Pleasures Review Of Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox
Learn to Tie a Tie with the Rabbit and the Fox is a fictional, children's book that is easy to read and understand. It is a good, entertaining story with big words and bright, vibrant colours. Cute characters help to make the story enjoyable for the child and for the parent reading it. There are a few pages that you can read as a short story or for you to read again and again. Kids will not get bored because of their short attention spans and, with the bright illustrations and interactive feel to it, the story is engaging for both children and parents.

After a few pages into the story, it starts to introduce the instruction on how to tie a tie. As the story is going on in the background, the instruction is going on in the foreground. There is a picture of a young school-age boy, with a clean white pristine shirt and a black tie, just ready and waiting for what to do next. The illustration and the direction is easily understood in both written and visual formats.

The story has a lesson to learn and you can also make it into an activity. For such a short story, it also has a sub plot that tells children not to stray too far from the safety of your home or neighbourhood.

This is a book that offers a fun story on how a school boy can learn how to tie a tie. The funny thing is that some males to this day, still have trouble tying a tie so I think it's a good book for parents too.

This book is for school-age children and it is very accessible since it is available in so many formats. The author has made this book available in English, Spanish and Tagalog. Sabrina Durant also has this book available in e-book format and through the android phone children's book app. If you enjoy reading a book to your children the old fashion way, you can savour the feel of it in your hands. If you love the use of technology, you can use your electronic device to enjoy the story with your children. Either way, both methods allow you to spend time with your kids at bedtime or playtime.

The last page of the book has song lyrics for “Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox” so parents can sing along. Therefore, not only does the author produce a children's story, but she also engages them with song and learning something that will last a lifetime



Green Frog Reviews of Learn To Tie A Tie WIth The Rabbit And The Fox
The book is based around the endearing tale of a rabbit and a hungry fox. The illustrated new story melds generations past, with a story of new found freedom and flavor. Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox, is the careening adventure of these two characters, set to a lively and memorable instructional song, that offers a simple and fun way of learning to tie the "school boy" style knot, so many kids struggle to learn.

In the new book, the very hungry fox races through the forest seeking to capture the sweet rabbit with its sharp and powerful snapping jaws. The race itself mimics the motion of tying a knot. The book is written to involve the entire family and intended to make it fun for parents to teach the sometimes troubling task to the little learners.

The book encourages participants reading and listening to the companion song to each have a tie handy to go through the motions of actually tying a necktie. The song is a catchy and repeatable jingle that runs around the head long after the book is finished. Children remember the song melody and words and with the jingle re-call their actions in tying their neckties.

The elegant knot the book teaches is also known as the "four in hand". Word association has long been used by scholars and amateurs alike in the learning of anything and everything necessary and unnecessary. The process is called "Mnemonic" which is defined by the art of memorizing something by associating it with words, phrases or sentences designed to help remember.

Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox is a book readers may see, touch and share. It is also available in Spanish and Tagalog languages. The accompanying song can be streamed for free, in all three languages, at the author's website.

Highly recommended for everyone who wants to or needs to learn how to tie a necktie.

I give "Learn to Tie a Tie with the Rabbit & the Fox" a 5 star rating.


Smart Book Reviews
This book is a cute little story for teaching young ones how to tie ties. Got a young boy who thinks ties are annoying? Show him that ties are fun with this adventurous story. While the main audience is little children, I must admit that people of all ages can learn how to tie a tie with this book. I am past childhood but have been asked by friends to help them get ready for formal events and help them tie their ties. Much to my chagrin, I did not know how to tie a tie properly. Now I can use this book to quickly remember how to tie a tie. In this book, the story is fun, the font is playful, and the illustrations are emotional. There is even a free song that goes along with the book. You can find the catchy tune at sybrina.com, which the author sings with a nice crisp voice. I liked this book very much and thought it was cute. It's one of a kind.
