The Mischiefs of Noodles and Cicada: Are We Allowed to Eat That? by Erika M Szabo is an educational picture book with a hint of humor for young children. Noodles the dog and Cicada the cat enjoy living together with their human owners. But from time to time, Cicada's mischievous side takes over. One day, Cicada is woken by the sound of their owners having a gathering in the garden. Cicada wanders into the kitchen and is met by a delightful smell. Hotdogs! She calls Noodles and the two of them salivate over the delicious food before them. Cicada's naughty side kicks in and she can't resist the temptation. She hops up onto the counter and tucks in, leaving poor Noodles stranded on the floor, unable to reach. Will Cicada be able to control her mischievousness and share the food? Or will she gobble up all the food herself? Find out in this book.
The Mischiefs of Noodles and Cicada: Are We Allowed to Eat That? was a pleasure to read. I'm a sucker for educational books for kids and this one made it to my top ten favorites list. Author Erika M Szabo has clearly and simply laid out important lessons for children to soak up and learn from. Not only will children learn from Erika's words, but they will also enjoy the banter between Noodles and Cicada, leaving them full of giggles. The illustrations are adorable and add more enjoyment to the book when reading. Erika has created a great book for children. I just know they're going to love reading it. Good luck and stay creative!
