This is a book written for kids, and it has a cheery voice and clean cartoon illustrations, but I (30-something adult) got it for myself. It doesn't "baby-talk" readers, which I love. Instead it gives clear instructions and step-by-step illustrations of 20 more common knots, with arrows to show the direction of each movement and a little context for what each knot is good for. It also (very briefly) explains the categories (knots to tie two ropes together, knots to tie a rope to something else, etc.).
It's a short book, so it obviously doesn't go into as much detail as others might, but it delivers the basics well. I got it for my own reference because it's hardback and small (maybe the size of a small trade paperback?) so it's easy to carry with me. After all, the places where you need a rope tie are generally not within easy reach of your bookshelf.

Not sure how many people have rope on hand but I learned a lot.
