June 10 – July 1, 2008 Book Serial - Noodles Makes A Boo-Boo. What happens when you don't follow directions? It’s very likely your science project will get out of hand, just as it does in Noodles Makes A Boo-Boo. Danny’s twin sister, Noodles, may be the fastest brain in the west, but when she invents a robot for the annual science fair, she also creates chaos! The Commercial Appeal is publishing a short book serial, “Noodles Makes A Boo-Boo,” along with illustrations and student activities on Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting June 10 and ending July 1. Students in grades 3-7 will love this zany story about a science project that goes awry. The seven-chapter story by Marcia Thornton Jones and Debbie Dadey is illustrated by Chris Ware, one of the nation’s premier newspaper artists. For more information, call (901) 529-2571.
