Excerpt: A Noodle Up Your Nose (by (author) Frieda Wishinsky; illustrated by Louise-Andrée Laliberté)
This year Kate was going to have the best birthday party.
The only trouble was her parents insisted she invite her whole class...
"I can't invite Violet," said Kate. "She's so bossy, she always wants everyone to do everything her way."
"Just boss her back," said Kate's dad.
Kate sighed. That was easy for her dad to say. No one could boss Violet back. Violet always got her way.
