Noodle, an old pug, lives a pretty good life for a dog. His owner, Jonathan, takes him on walks, feeds him table scraps, and plays with him every day. One day, however, Noodle decides he doesn't want to do any of those things. He'd rather lay in his bed and rest. Jonathan tries everything, but to no avail. Noodle wanted to have a "no bones day" - aka a relaxing day. Now Jonathan and Noodle can can busy "bones" days and "no bones" days. As long as they are together and sharing snacks, they are both happy.
The book had a good message that you don't always have to be busy and doing activities together in order to be happy. Sometimes, you just need to relax and enjoy each other's company from the comfort of your couch. I didn't find this picture book to stand out above others, however, my 3 year old daughter has requested me to reread this multiple times already. She loves how the dog is silly and enjoys the pictures.
