Other editions of book The PROcrastinator

Norman David Edwards, better known as Noodle, has a problem; a big problem. Noodle is constantly being told what to do. "Noodle do this. Noodle do that. Please do it RIGHT NOW. You must feed the cat." But Noodle's problem is that there are so many other things he would rather do instead. Award winning children's author Julia Cook has crafted another tale of her character Noodle facing the realities of childhood. In PROcrastinator, Noodle learns the importance of doings things right when his mother (and teacher) asks him to do them, rather than putting them off till later. As Noodle's week progresses his cat gets hungrier, the trash piles up, and his poetry homework is no closer to getting done. PROcrastintor is a humorous and engaging look at the results a child only doing what is fun to do, rather than what needs to be done. Written for children in grades K-6.

Norman David Edwards, better known as Noodle, has a problem – a procrastination problem. He’s constantly being told what to do. “Noodle do this. Noodle do that. Please do it RIGHT NOW. You must feed the cat.” But Noodle has SO MANY – and SO MUCH better – things to do, like hang out with friends, watch must-see TV and play video games. So it’s no surprise his cat goes hungry, the trash piles up and his poetry assignment remains unwritten. Noodle always chooses to do the things he wants to do while never getting around to doing the things he NEEDS to do. Award-winning children’s author Julia Cook uses Noodle to creatively highlight a conundrum all children struggle with and offers simple strategies to help them learn how to balance doing what needs to be done while still finding time for fun.
