Why read it?

1 author picked The Adventures of Coach and Little Dell as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is the only other picture book, besides my own, that I’ve been able to find for learning how to tie a necktie.

From Sybrina's list on learning to tie bows and nooses.
