The Magically Mysterious Adventures of Noelle the Bulldog

by Gloria Estefan, Michael Garland

For a young bulldog named Noelle, the joy of being adopted by her very own little girl is overshadowed by the worry that she won't fit in to her wonderful new home. What can an odd–looking brown pup possibly have to offer in a world where shimmering fish, glittering fireflies, and beautiful Dalmatians play games that Noelle's short legs can barely keep up with? Five–time GRAMMY® Award–winning singer–songwriter Gloria Estefan's first book for children is a heartwarming story. Exuberantly illustrated by Michael Garland, it captures all the worry of an outsider trying to fit in – and all the joy of discovering that everyone has a talent that matters, and that true beauty comes from inside. o Includes CD single of Gloria Estefan's latest release Noelle's Song Ages 3+

Reviews

[James Vickery]

In this book, Noelle, thinks that everyone else besides herself has a special skill and that she is just boring. Noelle searches and searches for something that can make her different and special as well. One day there a ball stuck under a car that the dalmations can not get because they are too big. Noelle gets the ball for them and then feels very special. She then uses her not so sharp teeth to save fish and finally she retrives a bag of bird seed for the birds. At the end of the book, Noelle is proud to be who she is because of all of her special skills.

This book is about a young bulldog who does not feel like herself is worth it. Although, this book teaches us the impiortance of being ourselves. The main character is Noelle and she is an amazing character. I highly reccomend this book.

I just think this book is OK but my two year old named Noelle is obsessed, for an obvious reason.
