Crankiness is in full swing, wreaking havoc on people\u2019s lives. When Herbie Snoodleman invents the SnoodleMobile, a car powered by noodles, happiness begins to spread its wings. But Sour Croodleman, the creator of the once-popular Kraut Mobile, hates the invention and seeks revenge on Herbie. Will he succeed? Joseph uses sauerkraut as a metaphor for crankiness, making it easy for young readers to understand the unpopularity of Sour Croodleman, and in doing so he implants a seed of a great idea\u2014how irritability gets in the way of happiness\u2014within a rollicking, entertaining narrative. The book\u2019s theme is sober, but Joseph\u2019s keen sense of humor keeps the story lighthearted and fun. The skillfully composed and wonderfully effective bright illustrations buzz with lively detail, bursting with wacky close-ups and character-building moments. Both text and art complement each other perfectly. The book is a clever primer on how crankiness affects people in general and how it can be managed by following some simple steps. A winner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
