The Tale of Noodle the Uncurly Poodle - Paperback

by Katherine Lerner (Author)

A great little "Tale" for teaching children about that very difficult, very human emotion, envy, and self-acceptance.
Noodle, an adorable little Poodle, born without a curly coat, envies the curly haired Poodles, believing they are all happier than he. When Noodle and his owner, Adella, endeavor to get him the curly coat he so longs for, the results are disastrous. Their adventure includes magic - which kids love, and great disappointment, but more importantly imparts the lesson that the traits that makes us unique are to be cherished, and that each of us is perfectly perfect, just as we are. An unexpected twist at the end leads Noodle to discover an important truth: that the grass is not always greener and that our differences are to be cherished.
