Noodle thinks his life just stinks! Homework stinks. Practice stinks. And family pictures - they REALLY stink. Noodle's attitude, or 'baditude' is alienating everyone around him. With help from a teacher and his mom, Noodle learns how to turn his 'have tos' into 'get tos.'

About the Author

With over a million books in print, Julia Cook, a former school counsellor, never dreamed she could evolve into an award-winning children's book author. Several years ago, Julia was searching for an effective story to teach children the difference between tattling and telling. When she couldn't find the right resource, she decided to write her own book, Tattle Tongue. Fast forward several years and she has more than 50 published books and activity guides. Julia takes top research and creativity and translates it into "kid language" that is both entertaining and engaging. Her light, humourous approach keeps kids laughing while they're learning good behaviour skills. The goal behind all of Julia's books and efforts is to actively involve people into her fun and creative stories and teach them to become life-long problem solvers.
Industry Reviews

"How many of you parents out there are struggling with your kiddo(s) and their BADITUDE This homeschooling, distance learning, online teaching thing is a bringing out a whole new level of attitude from my little man, and let me tell ya...I am NOT ok with it.

So instead of screaming, yelling, and threatening to take away his Nintendo time, I turned to my favorite author @juliacookonline knowing that I had the perfect book to help me out.

We're all experiencing change. We are all trying to navigate into this new normal for awhile, and in order for us to have a clear mind and a flexible brain, we need to change our BADITUDE into GRATITUDE.

So grateful I get to spend this time teaching my son. And so grateful for all the books from @boystownpress that help parents like me to make this whole parenting thing a little bit easier." - Kim Gameroz, Behavioral Support Specialist


"My kiddo is autistic and these books are written and illustrated so well. They follow similar to our social stories we use. And the author address so many issues kiddos these days face, including mine. Highly recommend her books, we have many of them Opened my kiddo's eye and then she "wanted to talk" about what was going on with her." - Theresa


"In another brilliant children's resource, Julia Cook has creatively woven the potential academic and social consequences of negativity into Baditude. 'Noodle's' attention to typical childhood frustrations makes this book realistic and identifiable to almost any young child. With an overarching theme of personal empowerment, Julia's characters clearly support children in identifying the benefits of turning 'Baditude' into 'Gratitude.'" - Sarah I. Springer, PhD, LPC, ACS; Certified School Counselor Assistant Professor, Counseling Psychology at Temple University
