Illustrated by
Avi Katz.
After giving each other gifts they want for themselves, the Knoodles learn that with presents, one should keep the recipient in mind. Goldin's story is told simply, allowing readers to figure out the solution long before the noodlehead Knoodles do. Details such as Papa Jack's ponytail and Shayna's braces in Katz's pastel-colored digital illustrations give the Knoodles personality.
