Story Snippet: #Pet Themed #ChildrensBook "Where's Noodles?" - #Animals #Dogs #Westies #KidLit #Mystery

As she was coming out of the bedroom, her tail and head drooping sadly, and her charcoal eyes cloudy with sorrow, Lilie spotted the hoover monster lurking in the hallway. He often lurked there when he wasn’t prowling the rooms sucking things up. He had a corner where he stayed whenever the humans wouldn’t let him loose in the rest of the house. Usually Lilie just ignored him, but today she stopped right in front of him.

“Where’s Noodles?” Lilie asked in her softest and saddest whine.

The hoover monster had never answered her before, and she didn’t really expect him to this time either. But she asked anyhow, because... Well, you never knew. Besides, she was getting desperate.

Sure enough, as she’d expected, the hoover monster said nothing. He didn’t even move. He just stood there, silent and still, lurking there in his corner.

“Never mind,” Lilie whined miserably, turning away from the hoover monster. “Thanks anyway, I guess.”

Noodles was gone, and nobody would even tell her if they had seen him. So, as you might expect, Lilie was feeling very sad, and starting to be certain she’d never see Noodles again.

A soft little whine of pure misery escaped her as she headed back in to the living room, her tail and head so low in her sorrow they almost touched the floor.

Where’s Noodles
Written by Victoria Zigler.
Now with an audio version narrated by Judith Bareham.

Book blurb:
“Noodles is a strange red creature with a squeaker in his tummy, who just happens to be the favourite toy of a West Highland White Terrier named Lilie. At least, he is now, since the bushytailed squirrel and cuddly triceratops fell apart while she was playing with them – totally not her fault, by the way!

Now noodles is missing.

Lilie’s sure she left Noodles on the living room floor when she went walkies. But when she comes home and goes to fetch him so they can have a nap together, Noodles isn’t there.

Where’s Noodles? Is he somewhere else, or is he lost forever?”
