Product Description:
Summer has arrived -- and so has Koo, Stillwater's haiku-speaking young nephew. And when Stillwater encourages Koo, and his friends Addy, Michael, and Karl to help a grouchy old neighbor in need, their efforts are rewarded in unexpected ways.

Zen Ties is a disarming story of compassion and friendship that reaffirms the importance of our ties to one another.

Summer has arrived and so has Koo, Stillwater Panda's haiku-speaking young nephew. When Stillwater encourages Koo and friends to help a grouchy neighbor in need, their efforts are rewarded in this appealing, fun blend of panda and Zen lessons perfect for young picturebook readers.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brilliant and Beautiful
This book has a story that draws my 3 year old in, is wonderful to look at and hold.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A lot short of Zen Shorts
I am a big fan of Jon Muth, both of his art and his Zen based stories. The Three Questions and Zen Shorts were great. They make you think, feel, understand, and love. Zen Ties is nice, but that is all. It seems like Muth wrote it in a hurry and didn't put much into it. It was a big disappointment to me.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful!
This is a wonderful book. I have a 5 and a 3 year old and they ask for this book every night. There is not an awful lot of action, befitting a Zen Panda, but the kids love it. And it is a book with unquestionably positive themes. The illustrations are really lovely, as well. I am glad my kids like the book because I like reading it, too. I also recommend Zen Shorts and Stone Soup by the same author.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another Great Jon Muth Book
I bought this after receiving Zen Shorts. Jon Muth leaves the reader with a sense of calm. Great lessons for children of all ages.
