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-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.

Brian ★★★★★

The story finally gave my daughter words for when she's frustrated instead of just melting down. I like how it walks kids through finding the positive in a bad moment without sounding preachy. We've read it four nights in a row now.

Victoria B. ★★★★★

My son’s constant grumpiness was wearing us down, but the lesson about taking responsibility for his own mood turned things around quickly. He actually points out positives now.

Ruby ★★★★★

My 4-year-old asks for this one by name now, and I catch him saying "I can choose to think about the good stuff" when he's frustrated. The pages about choices and responsibility gave us actual language to use instead of just telling him to calm down.
