Summary

An instant #1 New York Times bestseller!

From the creator of the viral "Bones or No Bones" TikTok videos comes a sweet and entertaining picture book following Noodle the pug and his human as they navigate Noodle's first No Bones Day--a day for being kind to yourself!

Noodle is a sweet, silly old pug who enjoys doing all his favorite activities with his favorite human, Jonathan. But one day when Jonathan goes to take Noodle on his morning walk, he finds Noodle still comfortable in bed. When Jonathan lifts Noodle up, Noodle just flops over. It's almost like Noodle woke up without any bones!

Noodle isn't sick or sad--but he also isn't interested in going for walks or sitting outside (he will accept snacks, though). Today, all he needs are extra snuggles and belly rubs. Jonathan soon learns that not every day can be a Bones Day, and sometimes a No Bones Day is exactly what you need to get through the week.

Kirkus Review

Graziano tells the story of his TikTok-famous pug, Noodle. Noodle is a silly, stubborn old pug who likes walks and snacks. "He's a pug who knows what he wants." Jonathan, his light-skinned owner, loves taking Noodle for walks and sharing snacks--they are a perfect pair. But one day, when it's time for a walk, Noodle just lies in his dog bed. Even when Jonathan tries to make Noodle sit up, Noodle flops back down. "It's like he doesn't have bones!" says Jonathan. Noodle doesn't seem sick--he just wants snacks and to stay in bed. Finally, Jonathan asks if Noodle would just like to snuggle instead and receives a strong affirmative from the drowsy pug. Together Noodle and his human enjoy a relaxing "no bones day" and learn an important lesson about rest and why it matters for silly, stubborn old pugs and for the humans who love them, too. Many may already be familiar with Noodle through his TikTok videos (if Noodle remains standing when Graziano lifts him, it's a "bones day"; among Noodle's followers, a "no bones day" has come to mean a day for self-care and taking it easy). However, this story stands alone and will likely create new fans for a long time to come. Hand-drawn and painted digitally, Tavis' illustrations rely on a muted palette and rounded images, depicting an appropriately cozy world. (This book was reviewed digitally.) A perfect story to enjoy on a "no bones day." (author's note) (Picture book. 3-7) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
