t-ties review

The k-students in my classroom were captivated by this story, they loved the illustrations, and looked forward to when I would turn the page, so they could see what tie was on the page. The illustrations are fun and colorful.

Mr.Tanen's Ties

"Mr.Tanen!" "where is your umbrella tie it's raining?!!" Mr.Tanen ALWAYS wore great funfilled ties,until Mr.Apple told Mr.Tanen he HAD to be proper!!! Mr.Tanen didn't feel right one day so he stayed home. Mr.Apple was the sub principal. each of Mr.Tanen's ties in his closet held a symbol {ex.hearts for love}.See how Mr.Tanen's absence turns Mr.Apple into a good apple!!!

A fun, enjoyable story with beautiful illustrations

I loved this book and so did my kids. The colors and pictues are very inviting to children of all ages. Mr. Tanen is a very likable character and his story is funny and thought provoking. The story teaches a subtle lesson of tolerance while entertaining simultaniously. My 10 year old loved it as well as my 3 & 4 year olds, and so did I.
