A Snoodle's Tale

we have the DVD of Snoodle, and we bought the book. its a fantastic story. very positive and heartwarming.

This is the perfect book to teach your children about the love of the One who made them! I tear up every time I read it! A great reminder to adults of the attentiveness of our Father. A must have for every Christian household with kids.

We bought this book for our 2 1/2 year old daughter who loves Veggie Tales and enjoyed this story when it was on TV. It is not only a fun read for the family, it also teaches parents and children alike that God creates us, watches over us, takes away our burdens, and frees us to share the glories of his creation with our neighbors. The people at Big Idea clearly show how God's creative nature is passed along to his people through the products they create.

Written in the style of Dr. Seuss and beautifully illustrated, this charming story is sure to be a favorite of kids and parents alike. It is the tale of a young Snoodle who, while filled with child-like entusiasm, has little skill at the things he would do. When the older Snoodles make fun of him, he loses heart and decides to leave town and live alone. But he soon meets a mysterious stranger who shows him what he is really meant to be, and the little Snoodle flies off, no longer vulnerable to the taunts of others, but once again filled with the confidence and enthusiasm he was created with. This story is wonderful for kids facing discouragement or dealing with bullies. It shows them that their worth is not dependent on the opinion of others, but comes from somewhere else entirely. It also quietly makes them aware that they can use their own talents to do good things, or just to "make others feel badly."

"A Snoodle's Tale" is an absolutely delightful story for the young reader. Although not always perfect, it has a strong-metered rhyming style that is easy to read and fall into the rhythmic beat of the story. A new Snoodle is born in Snoodleburg but he can't find his place in the world. It seems he is not particularly good at anything and everyone is making fun of him. He eventually learns the truth about life and how important he is. Where other books struggle to make a point about everyone being important and having their place in life, "A Snoodle's Tale" makes the point easily and gracefully. This is one of the best young children's books I have read in a long time.
