THE PROCRASTINATOR

By Julia Cook. Illustrated by Anita DuFalla. Noodle is so busy doing the fun things he wants to do, he ignores the important work he needs to do. When his homework stacks up and the family trash gets out of control, his mom finally decides enough is enough. Noodle’s mom teaches him how to organize and prioritize his time using strategies that include making daily to-do lists, breaking big projects into small manageable tasks, and choosing need-to-dos before want-to-dos. Includes helpful tips for parents and educators. Grades K–5. Boys Town Press. 31 pages. ©2017.
