A long, long time ago I needed to learn how to tie a noose. Not really! It was a necktie, which lots of people feel is like wearing a noose. I tried to find a book on the subject but there were none so I wrote one. That little exercise developed into my Learn To Tie With The Rabbit and The Fox Series of books. I’ve been creating children’s picture books to show how to tie ties, bows and shoelaces for the past 30 years. You can find all of my books plus learn to tie books by lots of other authors at The Rabbit and The Fox Book Store.

Boo's Shoes - A Rabbit And Fox Story: Learn To Tie Shoelaces
No Laces! That’s what Boo, the bunny, always says. He doesn’t want to learn to tie them. He has plenty of shoes for every occasion and none of them have laces or strings. So, what’s the point of learning to tie? His friend, Farah Fox, convinces him that it’s a skill he can use...and one that might make him happier, too.
This book is meant to be a parent-child activity. Youngsters can read Boo’s story and their parents can help with the how-to-tie instruction pages. A fun shoelace-themed “I Did It” badge is included at the back of the book to give in celebration of conquering this difficult task.
What a title for a book! I love it and the concept within. Learning to tie should be fun and what could be more fun than learning to tie your shoelaces and then getting up to do a jig. Plus a smiling fiddle player and happy dancers on each page are sure to bring a smile to your child’s face. Most importantly, this book was written by a doctor so parents can feel safe following his instructions.
This Little Golden Book was published 25 years ago. There have always been children struggling to tie their shoelaces. This one sends a good message about not giving up and practicing. It also reveals that you can’t always tell when someone is struggling with an issue just by looking at them. Stephen, the main character in the book struggles to learn. Children will be able to easily relate to him.
This is a great book for children who really get into the idea of learning more about tying lots of different kinds of knots.Knots are used in fishing, camping, ranching, farming, and more. That is a concept I try to get across to children in my own books. Once you master one type of knot the rest come easier and so opens the door to many more fun activities.
Create memories and embark on the journey of knot tying together. Learn how to tie knots you can use in fishing, camping, ranching, farming, and more.
What is more memorable than a child first learning to tie his shoes? Or wrapping his first Christmas presents? Knots aren't easy to learn, but they are very helpful-whether you are five years old, ten years old, or even fifty years old. Here is a children's picture book that will help parent and child learn together by simplifying the craft and bringing the reader into the world of knots through beautiful, detailed illustrations.

This is the only other picture book, besides my own, that I’ve been able to find for learning how to tie a necktie. It is a sweet story about a father figure coach who teaches a fatherless boy an art on manhood. I love books that teach values along with practical things so I had to place this story on my list.
My First Tie is a wonderful story of a young boy sharing his experience learning how to tie his very first tie. The authors give us an inside scoop into the mind of a young boy seeking to mature and learn new things. Who knew learning to tie a tie would teach us the importance of honesty and telling the truth. We are also introducing a positive black male character to children's literature. Coach is a fixer, a teacher, a motivator, a mentor, and all-around great guy. My First Tie is the second book in a wonderful children's book series,…
Everyone who knows me knows I’m partial to rabbits and foxes and cute little woodland creatures in instructional children's picture books. This book doesn’t have any of that stuff in it. In fact, it doesn’t even have any demonstrations! But it is an interesting book and it’s full of mathematical equations that geeks love. The author Lord Falcon Redclaw Hamstercuddles gives lots ofhard, solid data that he promises will have you tying laces like a pro. Lord Falcon Redclaw Hamstercuddles? What kind of name is that? Well, it’s not his real name. Whatever that is will forever remain a mystery.
Ok. So most people know how to tie their shoes. And some people don’t. And if you’re reading these lines, right now, you either belong to the latter group, or you care an awful lot about someone who does.
You are not alone.
Thousands of adults can’t tie their shoelaces, or can’t get the laces to stay tied. If you’re one of them, then you’ve likely had dozens of people show you how it’s done, and if you have to listen to one more helpful explanation involving bunny ears or rabbits diving into holes, you’re likely to explode. You’re sick…
