Book of the Week (1/22/2024)

Noodle Conquers Comfy Mountain by Jonathan Graziano and illustrated by Dan Tavis (Margaret K. McElderry Books, 2023)

Since Noodle and the No Bones Day recently won the 2023 Ladybug Picture Book Award, I thought it perfect to feature the sequel, also featuring NH illustrator Dan Tavis' illustrations!

Noodle the pug embarks on a quest to climb comfy mountain in this sweet and entertaining sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling picture book Noodle and the No Bones Day by the creator of the viral “Bones or No Bones” TikTok videos!

Noodle the pug loves his cozy donut bed, tucked away in his human, Jonathan’s, bedroom. But as he’s settling in for a lazy day (a no bones day), he decides he needs someplace extra special. A place where he can rest but with a good view of everything in his apartment. On a quest to find this comfiest place, Noodle spots the holy grail: the soft, squishy top of the couch. It’s Comfy Mountain.

But Comfy Mountain is high up out of Noodle’s reach. When he realizes that he won’t be able to conquer it on his own, Noodle must decide whether to forgo his independence for the comfiest, coziest spot he’s ever seen. Readers will delight in this new adventure from Noodle the pug and learn that, while it’s great to try things on your own, it’s also okay to ask for help when you need it.-- Publisher's blurb
