Description

Poor Noodle. Things just don’t seem to be going his way. But it’s not his fault! Author Julia Cook’s newest title, the first in the new Responsible Me! series, follows Noodle through a very rough day at school. It just isn’t his fault that his brother’s game ran late and he didn’t finish his homework. Or that his mom forgot to remind him to turn in his library book. Or that Mary Gold got in his airspace and hit his arm with her head…. Luckily, Noodle’s mom is there to teach him about the importance of accepting responsibility. Noodle learns: “YOU are responsible for the things that you do. For your choices at home and your choices at school!” Join Noodle on his journey as he learns not to blame others or try to find fault, but instead practices accepting responsibility, and turns his very rough day into a very good NEW day!

Review
“Julia has once again used her extraordinary talent to create a character, Noodle, all kids can recognize. Noodle is in all sorts of trouble… but he’s not at fault, or so he says. The story teaches children how to accept responsibility, which is vital to their character development and success. I especially love that Noodle learns from his mistakes AND realizes that tomorrow is a new day. But It’s Not My Fault is a must-have for anyone who works with children. I’m so excited to add this book to my counseling library.” – Jennifer H. Adams, School Counselor, Lexington, SC
