NOODLE
illustrated by Ludwig Bemelmans & by Munro Leaf
Not so frankly adult as the beloved Ferdinand, but adults will also chortle over the strange search pursued by Noodle, the dachshund, who bemoans the inadequacy of his shape when it comes to digging bones, and tries to decide what shape he prefers when the dog fairy gives him a chance to get his wish. Grand nonsense and enchanting pictures, by the author-artist of Hansi.
