Oodles of Noodles
Enjoy Oodles of Noodles while you follow Miles, Molly, Abby, and their delightful Airedale and Wheaten pets as they playfully experience noodles, not only as a delicious and fun food but as a creative outlet for children. This interpretation captures in a lighthearted, sing-song approach that captivates young readers both verbally and visually.We selected noodles as our subject because we hadn't met a child that did not like macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, or any other form of noodles, and thought in that case; noodles would be compelling to children. This, in turn, would make any future meal containing noodles a popular, fun meal, encouraging conversation about what they were eating.This book is meant primarily for preschool children, yet we have found it to be enjoyed by kids up to eight years old, and delightful even for adults to read aloud. We wanted the book to be fun and cute. Children will want the book to be read to them over and over. This seemed to be the case when we tested the book on over three dozen children.
