Description Supposing Books Noisy Nora (Scholastic Cassettes)
First of all, I absolutely did not like the word "dumb" as part of this story. We do not speak this way in our household. I was aghast when I came upon the word.This book was about a middle child who wanted a little bit of attention. She exhibited acts that could easily be described in association with a temper tantrum. Unfortunately, the parents of this child neglected her until she went missing.
I definitely could have given a lower score than the one I gave, however, I elected to bump my rating up. Why? The reason why I rated it at two stars versus one is because I liked that it did help to facilitate a family discussion. There were many things that we discussed based on this book.
The positives that were discussed:
- importance of family communication
- sibling relationships
- patience
- healthy coping skills
- family activities that could be done together
- turning a negative into a positive
The negatives that were discussed:
- neglect and not paying attention to the needs of everyone
- name calling
- running away versus facing your problem directly
- tantrum behaviors

It must be 20 years since I read this book, but I still have it memorized from rereading it so many times to my little sister. I think she empathized with Nora.Greatest Book ever - just reread to granddaughter, doesn't get any better than this!
Rosemary Wells book, Noisy Nora, is the story of a young mouses struggle to get attention from her parents in her home.The main character, Nora, feels that she does not get enough attention from her parents because they are too busy with her siblings. She tries to get their attention by being mischievous and making loud, noisy disruptions. Nora realizes that this is not working, as her parents continually tell her to be quiet. She became so fed up that she decided to leave and not come back.

Nora is very naughty, and while it is "cute" the book does not resolve this naughty behavior. She's run off and then come back to make a big mess. Her parents are just happy to see her, and I think this just sends the wrong message entirely to children. As an adult I enjoyed it and the illustrations are classic Wells, but I would not read this book to an impressionable young child without a serious conversation.
Like other reviewers, I don't like the sister's mantra "why are you so dumb?" There's no working through that either, it is just said over and over. The book teaches mean language and inappropriate ways to handle feelings.
