Spindoodle the Poodle Stacie Morrell

Do you find it hard to make friends? Do you feel awkward wherever you go? So does Norman. Have you ever met someone who's different and it bothers you? Someone who does something no one else does and you don't know how to react? Meet Spindoodle the Poodle. What happens when they find eachother? Spindoodle shows what a difference a dog (or pet) can make in a child's life, and how important animal rescue is. Spindoodle also addresses special needs children and how we should accept everyone. The story follows a young child called Norman and a handsome black standard poodle called Doodle who come together and change each other lives. Norman, like so many millions of children in the world, is shy, and as the author calls him a socially awkward grade school student. Norman pretends he is happy at school but, he is lonely and struggles to make friends. All Norman wants is a friend, and thanks to a volunteer from an animal shelter Norman's life is about to change. Each year tens of millions of dogs in the world are abandoned on the street, sadly being left out in the cold by their owners. Thankfully, animal shelters come to the rescue of these abandoned dogs and help provide them with a new home. Doodle is just one of those dogs. Doodle was abandoned on the porch of a house to fend for himself, but luckily for him, he was found by a kind man who took him to the safety of the local animal shelter. Doodle is such a fun-loving dog who loves to eat and spin and have fun. All Doodle wants is a loving friend to take him home and care and love him. This magical story follows how Doodle and Norman are brought together, a story that will bring tears and happiness in people's lives and show how important animal shelters are. This book shows the value of volunteering, and how special individuals, animal or human, can help others and each other.
