Mr. Tanen, the principal of Lynnhurst Elementary School, is beloved by the students because of his crazy tie collection. When his boss forces him to wear "proper" blue ties only, the kids find a way to reunite Mr. Tanen with his prized neckwear. With illustrations as jaunty and colorful as Mr. Tanen's ties, this comic tale, based on a real principal, provides light fun.
