Bookroo's summary

Noodle is tired of constant instructions from adults. Why make the bed or kick the soccer ball just right? As he questions these tasks, Noodle's journey reveals the hidden value in everyday chores. With guidance, he learns that turning 'need tos' into 'I did its' prepares him for life's bigger challenges. Will Noodle embrace this lesson and find happiness in responsibility? Join him in this engaging tale of self-motivation and growth.

From the publisher

Noodle is always being told what to do. Pull the weeds. Make his bed. Kick the ball a certain way in soccer. Ugh! But he wonders, why? What’s in it for him? Luckily, the adults in Noodle’s life are there to teach him the importance of moving ‘need tos’ into ‘I did Its!’ Join Noodle as he learns the value of practicing small chores now, so he’ll be ready for life’s big challenges later.
