Knot is a piece of rope who longs to do the same things as Snake. Snake can slither and swim and hiss. Sadly, Knot cannot! But when Snake finds herself in a pickle, Knot discovers there' s one thing he can do that Snake cannot. Knot can knot--a lot! With wordplay a-plenty, this uproarious read-a-loud encourages readers to find--and celebrate!--whatever it is they do best.
"Goofy, diagrammatic cartooning plays along, with lots of comically emphatic hand-drawn annotations and commentary ("TOO WIDE HA HA!" reads a key note that leads up to the rescue). In the talented, sublimely silly hands of Stone (Tallulah Plays the Tuba) and Lowery (the Kid Spy series), the question ' What do I have to offer the world? ' seems far less knotty. " --Publishers Weekly "The high color contrast design and goofy, thickly lined figures make for easy viewing . . . The true value, however, is in the playful literacy lesson, with the repetition of the ' ot' sound giving the book a helpful rhyming foundation for beginning readers, while other words provide a sophistication that will test more savvy readers' skills. " --BCCB "A deliciously relentless barrage of punnery and other wordplay. " --Booklist"With its repetition, consonance, and homophones, this tale is a fun way for students to build word comprehension . . . This humorous read-aloud will help young readers untangle some tricky vocabulary words and teach them valuable lessons about finding confidence in one' s abilities. " --School Library Journal
