Noddy

Enid Blyton
Read by Wendy Craig

2 hrs, no rrp, AUDIO BOOK, one cassette

Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant

Noddy, his red and yellow car, his blue tinkling hat and his friend Big Ears have, rather mysteriously, retained their popularity. Here are four stories full of moral incident and cosy detail from the new Noddy editions. Noddy thinks there must be something wrong with his head as his hat keeps slipping off, but Big Ears explains it's just Noddy's swollen head caused by his high self opinion. Wendy Craig's characterisation of the Toylanders has enough imagination to add interest, yet remains comfortingly familiar to young listeners.
