Mr. Tanen's Tie Trouble

32 pp. | Whitman | March, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8057-5305-0 $$14.95
(4) K-3 Mr. Tanen and his collection of wacky ties are back in their second book. When the proposed school playground is in jeopardy due to budget issues, Principal Tanen auctions off his precious tie collection to raise the funds. An appreciative town makes sure his tie-less condition doesn't last for long. This amusingly illustrated story doesn't overplay its lesson: "the more you give, the more you get."
