The Klutz Book of Knots is a book complete with string that helps you learn how to tie the most useful knots. It comes with step-by step instructions and illustrations and string. Knots are useful in daily life, we tie our shoes, our ties (some of us) and many other things. Knots have been used in many facets of life such as on ships and trucks, however, they can also be useful around the household, if we know how to tie them. This book helps us learn about knots.
I have always loved the Klutz books and their instructions. It might be a little bit of whimsy, but the subjects that they cover always inform and entertain. This book is well designed and illustrated. I appreciated the string, it kept me from having to go find some. I have actually used some the suggestions to tie down a boat and build my son a swing.
In class, this book could be used as a practical guidebook on knot tying. It could also be used to improve reading comprehension. The step by step instructions help a young reader to develop the skills needed to read and follow directions, one of the most useful skills not often taught in schools today.

Best description of knot tying. Includes rope and holes in each pages so you can tie the knot right beside the illustration.

Fabulous fun, and useful too. ( )
