With wordplay a-plenty, this uproarious read-a-loud encourages readers to find--and celebrate!--whatever it is they do best.

Reviews for Knot Cannot

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
