The first in a delightful series following the mischievous canine antics of a classroom pet, from World of Norm author Jonathan Meres.
Someone new is joining the class at Wigley Primary … He's got four legs, a big bark and shaggy golden curls!
Nora, Lou, Marty, Josh and the other children love having Noodle the Doodle at school. He listens when they read him stories, he sings along in music class and he even delivers messages to the other classroom … or at least, he tries to! So when Mr Reed announces that they're taking a school trip to the seaside, they're thrilled that Noodle will be coming too. But the beach is an exciting place for a dog – perhaps too exciting. Will Noodle be on his best behaviour or will the whole trip end in chaos?
Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 8.
