Review

In this instalment of the delightful graphic novel series, Noodle and her friends all learn a valuable lesson about working together and compromise.


When Noodle decides to decorate the Big Tree - that all the Twigs love - she wants to do it her way. But her friends, Twiggy, Stump and Red, decide that they would like to decorate it too. The problem is they don’t decorate it the way that Noodle wanted, and she is not happy about it at all!


When Noodle goes for a walk to calm down, she finds herself in a dandelion forest and decides that a dandelion would be a wonderful addition to her tree decoration. But not everything goes to plan, and one disaster follows another!


Can the Twigs all help each other, come up with a compromise on the decorations, and have fun together? This will be enjoyed all junior readers.
