Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

Noodle the pug embarks on a quest to climb comfy mountain in this sweet and entertaining sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling picture book Noodle and the No Bones Day by the creator of the viral "Bones or No Bones" TikTok videos!

Noodle the pug loves his cozy donut bed, tucked away in his human, Jonathan's, bedroom. But as he's settling in for a lazy day (a no bones day), he decides he needs someplace extra special. A place where he can rest but with a good view of everything in his apartment. On a quest to find this comfiest place, Noodle spots the holy grail: the soft, squishy top of the couch. It's Comfy Mountain. But Comfy Mountain is high up out of Noodle's reach. When he realizes that he won't be able to conquer it on his own, Noodle must decide whether to forgo his independence for the comfiest, coziest spot he's ever seen. Readers will delight in this new adventure from Noodle the pug and learn that, while it's great to try things on your own, it's also okay to ask for help when you need it.

PreS-Gr 3--As in Noodle and the No Bones Day, this humorous tale focuses on the cozy routine of an old pug, Noodle, and his loving human, Jonathan. Noodle is looking forward to a low-stress day, which the pair likes to call a "no bones day," when he discovers that he cannot get comfortable. His blanket has been washed, and he is out of snacks. Also, he likes to always keep an eye on Jonathan, so he decides to climb "Comfy Mountain," which is the back of the sofa. He needs help to attain this summit, but once Jonathan lifts him up he declares that "doing things by yourself is great, but doing them together is even better." Text and hand-drawn, digitally colored illustrations convey Noodle's perspective, with his struggles exaggerated to comically epic proportions. Along with Noodle's silly bark, which sounds like a squawk, this has potential for a fun, dog-themed story time. VERDICT Told with warmhearted humor, this book highlighting the joys of compassion and caring for an older dog should find a receptive audience.--Marilyn Taniguchi
