"When Opal the ostrich is anxious, her neck feels as wobbly as a spaghetti noodle. Her family lovingly calls this 'the noodles,' and tries their best to help. But it's not easy to calm down when you're a worrier like Opal--especially when you're worrying about somebody else's opinion of you. Now it's the day of her family's annual party, and Opal is in charge of picking up the triple-layer-double-custard-beet-and-berry tart from the bakery! What if she does something wrong? What if somebody gets mad at her? Opal is having a serious case of the Noodles. This . . . take on social anxiety is . . . perfect for young children and anyone else who has ever gotten the noodles"--Provided by publisher.
