A story about shifting perspective

Noodle’s frustration spills into his relationships, giving the book a concrete way to explore how outlook affects interactions with others. With support from his teacher and mother, he practices reframing “have tos” as “get tos” and noticing positives in situations he cannot control. The story pairs this emotional-skills focus with practical tips for parents and educators, extending the discussion beyond the narrative and into home or school settings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children learning to recognize and manage negative moods
  • Parents and educators seeking a story-based starting point for conversations about attitude and gratitude

Book overview

"My name is Norman David Edwards, but everybody calls me Noodle. Some days, my life just stinks!"

Turn scowls and negativity into smiles and positivity! Teach complainers and pessimists to overcome bad moods or feelings of hopelessness by changing their outlook. Learn from Noodle, a boy whose attitude, or 'baditude' is alienating everyone around him.

With help from a teacher and his mom, Noodle learns how to turn his 'have tos' into 'get tos' and his 'baditude' into gratitude! Kids in grades K through 6 are empowered to actively look for positives in all situations and manage how they choose to feel about what they cannot control.

This title is from the Responsible Me! series by award-winning author Julia Cook. The series promotes life skills, strengthens character development, and helps kids use better social skills at school and at home.

Included at the end of the storybook are tips for parents and educators to help students turn a negative attitude into a positive attitude.

The series also includes:

  • But It's Not My Fault
  • That Rule Doesn't Apply to Me!
  • Cheaters Never Prosper
  • The Procrastinator
  • What's in It For Me?
