Description

My name is Norman David Edwards, but everybody calls me Noodle. Sometimes I get tired of being told what to do.

Every day Noodle hears all about what he needs to do and why he needs to do it. He hears it from his parents, teachers and coaches, and he's sick of it! What's the point of making his bed every morning? Does it really matter how he kicks the soccer ball? And who cares if he plays the piano too fast or writes too sloppily?


Once again, Noodle's mother is there to help him understand the importance of practicing smaller chores so he is ready for life's bigger challenges and decision-making ahead. He discovers why changing all his "need tos" into "I did its" will actually make him happier and more prepared to do whatever he's asked.

Help inspire and influence children in grades K through 6 to become more self-motivated and responsible with the sixth storybook in Julia Cook's Responsible Me! series which strengthens character development and helps kids use better social skills at school and at home.


Included at the end are tips for parents and educators to help encourage kids to practice self-reliance and have a positive attitude.

The series also includes:

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

Critical Reviews

"Finally a way to help answer students when they say, 'What's in it for me?' I can't wait to use this book to help kids look differently at the NEED TO's in life." - Bryan Smith, school counselor, author

I love Julia Cook books. She has a great way to point messages across to kids. - Mommy Of 3, Amazon

Norman, nicknamed Noodle, is tired of always being told what to do. His mom, teacher, coach, and piano teacher tell him what to do all day long! All he wants to do is play his video game, and he doesn't understand why he needs to do all the things he is asked to do. When he tells his mom about his frustration, she explains that getting things done helps to make us feel good! Instead of thinking about how he is bossed around, he can think about all the things he is getting done! When Noodle decides to focus on his accomplishments, he feels much better, and he still has time to play his video game and go outside! - Brooke, blogger @ Firm Happy Mom
