Description
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.

About the Author
Jonathan Meres is the author of the best-selling WORLD OF NORM series, the first of which was nominated for The Scottish Children’s Book Awards in 2012. Born in Nottingham, he left school at 16 to join the merchant navy. Ever in search of adventure, he then became an ice cream van driver before moving to London to be a rock star. When that didn’t work out Jonathan became an actor instead and later, a stand-up comedian. He won a Time Out Award for comedy and was nominated for The Perrier Award. He has written a wide variety of TV programmes for children, as well as radio for grown-ups, including his own series on Radio 4. He lives in Edinburgh where he enjoys being cynical. He has no cats.
