  • Help young children understand and appreciate rules
  • Children begin to appreciate how rules help us

Noodle is having a rough couple of days. The rules keep getting in the way of his fun! Rules for this and rules for that. There are so many rules - too many rules! Rules stink! Noodle has no use for obeying rules at home, or school. He argues about the rules and doesn't think any of them actually apply to HIM! Can't he just have a rule-free day? Author Julia Cook's third book in the Responsible Me! series will have readers in stitches as Noodle describes the variety of rules he deals with daily. His mom helps him visualize the consequences of no rules at all and Noodle begins to understand that rules help create a safe environment for everyone.

Richard Z. ★★★★★

My 7-year-old was in a real "rules don't apply to me" phase, and this story about Noodle actually got through to him. He brought up the book on his own a few days later when I reminded him about bedtime.

Robert O. ★★★★★

I grabbed this for my 5-year-old who argues about every single rule, and the Noodle character finally made it click for her. It says ages 4-8 and that feels right, though my 3-year-old mostly just likes the pictures.

Owen ★★★★★

My six-year-old actually asked me to read this one twice in a row, which never happens. The way it walks through Noodle's struggles with rules like cleaning up and listening really clicked for her, and I’ve already seen her pause before breaking one at home.
