Nubsy McNoodle Wanted a Poodle is a rhythm and rhyming hard cover picture book that follows Nubsy as she embarks on an adventure with her brother Bullfrog, to find herself a poodle. The colourful illustrations aimed at two to eight year olds, are a sure way to get them giggling.

Zia Grace describes writing her first children's book, Nubsy McNoodle Wanted A Poodle, as an organic experience born from this transformation. "It was like something just went 'click' inside. In the early hours of February 24 (2007), whilst staying with friends whose children are nicknamed Nubsy McNoodle and Bullfrog, I heard the words "Nubsy McNoodle wanted a poodle" swirling around in my head over and over until I finally got out of bed and tapped it into my laptop.
