With a die-cut, fold-out cover and a color-coded shoelace, this book teaches children to tie their shoes with a comical and engaging story. Eric is having trouble at the playground. On the monkey bars, down the slippery slide, and even across the wobbly bridge, Eric's shoes just won't stay on his feet! But everytime Eric trips, flips, and slips, his friends are there to help him with some shoe-tying advice. With detailed, step-by-step instructions throughout the book, the challenge of tying shoes is "knot" hard at all!
