See more Product Details Publisher: Littlehampton Book Services Ltd; New edition edition (July 17, 1986) Language: English Product Dimensions: 7.6 x 7 x 0.3 inches Shipping Weight: 6.4 ounces By A Customer on June 14, 1998 Format: Hardcover Picture a child, ready to tackle listening to a "chapter-book" read by a caring adult. Or a child ready to try to read a "chapter-book", after building up skill with single-story picture-story books. In both cases, Enid Blyton's "Noddy", especially the first six titles in the original series, are amongst the very best of these early-listening or early-reading "chapter-books". It's true that people object to golliwogs, in any form, even when they are kind and friendly, as many of Blyton's are. It's true that many people read nasty things into the substitute-parent role played by Noddy's good friend Big-Ears the Brownie. True, they do (or did) share a bed, on one occasion, when Noddy visits.

It's true that Mr Plod the policeman is a bit of a bumbling fuss-budget. These early (usually stupid or prudish) objections have been eliminated in recent sensitive revisions. No golliwogs now. No bed-sharing. Sweetness and light. Fortunately the books are as good as ever. Noddy is a little wooden nodding-headed toy, who is afraid of the toy lion Old Man Carver is making, so he runs away - and finds himself helped by Big-Ears, and is taken to Toyland. Now Noddy needs to be dressed, and to make himself a house. In later books he needs to find a way of earning his sixpences. Noddy is really a young child playing at growing up. He gets into trouble, occasionally. Yet his heart is always in the right place. But when he let's the animals out of Noah's Ark, there is community uproar. Is he really a toy? Does he really belong in Toyland? And is he a GOOD toy? Enid Blyton's wonderful toy fable-fairytale, brilliantly illustrated by the artist Beek (whose illustrations inspired Blyton), was deservedly an instant classic.

The controversy came later, and should now be set aside. Read more › Mr. Plod and Little Noddy by Enid Blyton Despite criticism that her work was sentimental, few bedtimes were complete without a story about Toyland, inhabited by Little Noddy the Pixie and Mr. Plod the Policeman. She authored some 400 titles. (Time — December,1968) I don't think it would be all that hard to look on Noddy as "Inspiring" but that statement needs qualification so here it is: It's uplifting to read how cheery the little fellow is and what joy he receives from such a simple act as rising from his bed in the mornings. Think what a wonderful life it would be if it was possible for all of us to have such a positive attitude. One morning when Noddy looked out of his window, his garden was so full of golden sunshine that he really had to sing a joyful song — "Oh what a lovely sunny day, It's spring again, it's spring!

The sun is shining bright and gay, It makes me want to sing!" So he sang as he dressed himself, and he sang as he cooked his breakfast, and he jumped about for joy all the time. Perhaps we could try to be a little more Noddy-like and expect the best instead of worrying ourselves to a frazzle over things that might never happen and, in most cases, don't. Noddy is particularly vulnerable to the odd bout of bad luck due to the desires of his creator. If everything went fine for him we'd be bored out of our minds so he has to experience adversity but he's always happy at the end of the day by following the simple philosophy — "Today, is the Tomorrow, we were worrying about Yesterday." The milkman likes Noddy's new song very much indeed and when he offers him a little pot of cream he's allowed to tap the little wooden head three times to make it nod up and down. He does so and after leaving Noddy his pint of milk, he carries on his way trilling the happy little song to his customers and soon everyone is singing it — even Mr. Plod the policeman who's busily painting the outside of the police station. Mrs.

Tubby Bear next door needs some paint because the bright sun is showing up the dirty corners on the family home so Noddy says he'll fetch some in his car. Her rather naughty little son acquires a name at this point — it's "Bruiny." In the past he was usually Little Tubby or Master Tubby Bear and at this particular moment in time he's gone out to buy some lollipops. Noddy is given a list and he sets off to buy the various paints. On the way he sees Little Tubby (Bruiny), and shouts out that he wants the stool back that the bear borrowed from him yesterday. Bruiny doesn't seem very interested in giving things back — he just walks on sucking a lollipop despite the fact that he's been told he mustn't suck lollipops in the street. I'm sure that Mr. & Mrs. Tubby Bear are very good and upright citizens but they've fallen down a little where their son is concerned, or maybe he was simply born a "bad egg!" Noddy purchases all the paint needed and then drives back through the village singing his heart out and, as he can't spot Mr.

Plod anywhere, he asks the Wobbly-Man as to his whereabouts. The Wobbly-Man who is with Mickey Monkey informs him that the policeman is painting the outside of the police station and Mickey Monkey expresses the hope that Mr. Plod will fall off his ladder. Mickey is another of those one or two Bad Eggs that inhabit the village and his reasoning is that if the policeman falls down and is injured then nobody will be scolded or locked up or smacked for a period of time! Leaving the Wobbly-Man trying to explain to Mickey the good points of having a policeman in the village, Noddy drives to the police station where he sees his friend Big-Ears holding the ladder on which Mr. Plod is perched about level with the chimney. From his vantage point Mr. Plod can see for miles and he yells down to Noddy that he's spotted Bruiny going up to his door. It looks like the little bear is actually returning Noddy's stool. He can also see Tessie-Bear with the Bumpy-Dog, talking to Bruiny although he can't hear the conversation of course.

Noddy sets off home at a good speed to join the love of his life and when he arrives Tessie Bear tells him that she has a chocolate cake for him that she made herself. Noddy hugs her and Bumpy-Dog jumps up to give Noddy a kiss which means of course that the little man ends up on the path with the dog on top of him. That's why he's called the Bumpy-Dog — he keeps knocking people down! "Go away, Bumpy-Dog! Get off my tummy!" It's quite normal to hear those words when the Bumpy-Dog is present. Noddy's car PARPS loudly and frightens Bumpy who immediately hides under a bush whilst Noddy and Tessie go indoors where they find that the little red stool has been returned. Soon Noddy's sitting on it and enjoying large slices of chocolate cake and glasses of lemonade with Tessie. They hear the car hooting again and Noddy rushes out to find the Bumpy-Dog digging up his garden so he shoos him over the wall into the Tubby Bears' place and then he sees Gilbert Golly and Sailor Doll looking at him over the gate — laughing like anything.

He can't think why — they just tell him to look behind. He goes back inside and Tessie begins laughing as well and Noddy then finds that his stool had been repainted and as the paint is still wet, there's red colouring all over his shorts! Next, the Bumpy-Dog comes in with red spots of paint all over his fur — another free service from little Bruiny! That bear is the absolute limit and urgently in need of guidance — Tessie Bear will have to give her pet at least three baths to try and get rid of the paint. This is definitely going to be one of those days because the next thing that happens is the arrival of Big-Ears, rushing in to report that Mr. Plod has fallen off his ladder — BUMP! He needs to go to hospital and could Noddy take him? Of course he could and he'll go immediately but who'll be the policeman whilst Mr. Plod is incapacitated?

"I SHALL!" says Big-Ears in a very stern voice, "So just you behave yourselves, Tessie and Noddy." At times Big-Ears seems to lack a little tenderness and loyalty in his relationships but he's still one of Toytown Village's more trusted and well-liked characters. Maybe it's just that in moments of drama he becomes a little authoritative. He and Noddy race away to the Police Station and collect poor Mr. Plod. They help him gently into the car and he's driven off to the hospital. Noddy doesn't like the place because he's rather afraid of the doctors and nurses and worried that if he was put to bed there he would have medicine forced on him — he thinks Mr. Plod will probably be very unhappy. Mr. Plod is being very brave about his aches and pains and is only worried that his helmet was dented in the fall. Why on earth he wore a helmet when he was up on the roof under the blazing sun (it looks blazing) is anyone's guess. Noddy starts crying when he sees the policeman being wheeled away in a chair under the care of a kind looking doctor and two nurses — "What's hospital like?

I don't like it." He has a fear of hospitals that's certain, but there may be a reason for it. He drives Big-Ears to the Police Station and the brownie dons Mr. Plod's spare helmet and looks rather alarming to Noddy. He timidly enquires — "You will be a kind policeman, won't you?" "I shall be kind to good people and fierce with bad ones, so just you be good, Noddy!" The villagers discuss the accident and worry about their protection. Who's going to stop Mickey Monkey and his friends from being rude to people and making faces at them? Big-Ears is! Yes, he takes up his policeman role very seriously and next day he's in the street directing traffic. Gilbert Golly is riding his bicycle too fast and that's not allowed so he has to hold out his hand for a smack with the policeman's truncheon. Noddy and Tessie pay a visit to Mr. Plod although they feel scared when they enter the hospital.

They imagine that the policeman will be terribly unhappy but he's not which isn't surprising because beside him he has a locker on which there are flowers and chocolates, five new books, his favourite cigarettes, and a bottle of lemonade. He also has a very attractive nurse looking after him so who could be unhappy with that? He welcomes his visitors with open arms and is presented with more flowers and a chocolate-cake and toffee and another book to read. In the picture he's wearing a helmet, but it's a paper one which Mrs. Tubby Bear has given him — it came out of a Christmas cracker. Mr. Plod tells them how much he's enjoying himself because in hospital you are made well and happy again. He piles it on about how LOVELY it is to be fussed over by the kind doctors and nurses; in fact it's as good as a holiday — even better, because everyone gives you presents. Noddy and Tessie have a change of opinion and feel they would love to go to hospital themselves should they become sick or have an accident. Yes, Mr.

Plod reckons it's the nicest place he's ever been in, goodness — here's the Wobbly-Man with a great big box of sweets. Noddy and Tessie slip away with a very positive impression and the theme is woven into an impromptu song that Noddy makes up on the spot and sings to Sally Skittle and her children who happen to come by. The lyrics inspire Sally to pass on to her children that if they ever have to go to hospital ... "Go with a great big smile!" Big-Ears isn't wearing Mr. Plod's uniform because it's too big for him although he's got the helmet and jacket on and he's sent the helmet that's dented to be mended. He's worried because there's a thief about. The Wobbly-Man has money missing and Mr. Golly at the garage has had two bicycles stolen and, because he can't leave his post, Big-Ears wonders what to do. Noddy is, as usual, ready and willing to help in any way he can so he turns into a kind of Find-Outer and goes to interview Mr. Golly and examine the scene of the crime.

In the shed where the bicycles were stored he looks carefully at the skylight and discovers what could be a small amount of fur clinging to the edge — that's definitely a clue. Some furry creatures are good climbers when you think about it and it looks as if the bicycles have been taken out through the skylight and over the roof by a person or persons who are quite good at scaling walls and roofs. Noddy grimly determines to track down the thieves but he'll have to hurry because when he visits the hospital again he finds that Mr. Plod has heard about the robberies and feels he must get on the job. His nurse insists that he stays in bed however and Noddy tells him, very fiercely, that he'll find the burglars and away he goes. What an adventure for brave little Noddy as he follows the trails.

When he finally tracks the culprits to their lair he demonstrates that he can rise to an occasion by using his brains and putting the thieves "Out of Action" as it were — then, with another song hastily composed about his successful mission, he once again becomes a Toy Village hero after summoning a little help to provide needed muscle for the apprehension of person or persons responsible for a misdemeanor or misdemeanors. Big-Ears has a quiet word with Mr. Plod, Tessie's uncle, and Tessie Bear herself — all very Hush-Hush, and then Tessie takes Noddy off in the train for a visit to her Granma for the day and while they are gone her uncle paints Noddy's house and car in beautiful bright colours as a reward for his bravery and dedication. What a wonderful surprise it is for Noddy when he returns from Teddy-Bear Town. There's excitement exclamations and plenty of hugging (Noddy even hugs naughty little Bruiny Bear by mistake). Bumpy-Dog's there as well — bumping into Noddy and knocking him over but Noddy's too happy to scold him. There's going to be a big party when Mr.

Plod gets out of hospital, and now, the only thing left to do (as if we didn't know it) is for Noddy to round the day off with one of his titillating tunes which further reinforces his ability to inspire us all to be Happy and Gay. Let's hear the end of it — " ...I love Mrs. Tubby, and Tessie Bear too, And Big-Ears my Very Best Friend, I'm really so happy I might sing all day — But I think my song's come to an end!" Dear Miss Blyton, I am about to go into hospital and I'm feeling so worried. I've always been frightened of hospitals because they are such big places and I'm quite scared of what could happen to me. Can you please tell me if I'll be all right and that I don't need to be afraid? Your very good friend Penny That may be the reason that Noddy was initially scared of hospitals. I get the feeling that Enid Blyton may have received a few letters in similar vein from worried readers and, possibly, this is why she stressed the fact so heavily that hospitals are wonderful places. (Just a thought). Maybe Mr.

Plod wore a helmet when he was up the ladder as a kind of sun-hat, or else as protection should he fall because policemen's helmets have a certain amount of reinforcement in them. Mr. Plod seems like a One-Man-Band in this book despite the fact that other policemen exist. They managed to come up with at least half a dozen in the second Noddy Book. Big-Ears isn't wearing the full policeman's uniform because it's too big for him. So he says, although he looks about the same size as Mr. Plod, and the jacket seems to fit all right. Trivia: Enid Blyton had varied names for her policemen. "Mr. Plod" seems a good one and many will agree that Mr. Goon is very suitable in a particular case (Find-Outer books). There was Mr. or P. C. Pippin from the same series as was Mr. Tonks. There's also "Mr. Hearty" — a policeman in an old Sunny Stories tale ('The Peculiar Horse').

Trivia: "Granma" has been used a few times for a word I always thought was spelt "Grandma." Did Tessie Bear's uncle paint Noddy's iconic car in its original colours? Fortunately, yes! Again, the artist is Robert Tyndall. Determining just where to place Noddy on the scale when his poems and songs are compared to the multitude of EB characters who also have talent, is a difficult task. It's hard to believe that Mr. Plod would ever try his hand at creating a song but he does, just once, in this book. A little goose-girl, a fair-owner called Sammy Say-So, and his brother — Skipper Heave-Ho, all displayed their talents in a story about Bom the little Drummer but, although they made valiant attempts, I don't think their efforts were as polished as Noddy's rollicking rhymes. There are other composers however, who could threaten Noddy's place as No.1 in poetic propensity ...

a schoolgirl called Darrell Rivers, the Saucepan Man — an old friend of Noddy's who loves creating little rhymes, and then there's another talented character looming up over the horizon, one — Frederick Trotteville! Enid Blyton | British author | Britannica.com British author Alternative Title: Enid Mary Blyton Enid Blyton Enid Blyton, in full Enid Mary Blyton (born August 11, 1897, East Dulwich, London , England —died November 28, 1968, Hampstead, London), prolific and highly popular British author of stories, poems, plays, and educational books for children. Enid Blyton, 1962. Pictorial Press Ltd/Alamy Blyton, the daughter of a businessman, abandoned her early studies in music to train as a schoolteacher at the Ipswich High School (1916–18). Her first publication was a poem that appeared in a children’s magazine when she was only 14, and in 1917 another of her poems was published in Nash’s Magazine.

Blyton worked briefly as a teacher and governess, but by 1921 her stories and poems were appearing steadily in various magazines, and her first book of poems, Child Whispers, was published in 1922. Blyton devoted herself full-time to writing from about 1924. From then until about 1965, she wrote more than 600 children’s books and wrote innumerable articles for magazines. Some of her stories first appeared in Enid Blyton’s Sunny Stories (1937–52) and other magazines she founded and edited over the years. Most of Blyton’s fiction consists of mystery or adventure stories, though schools and circuses form the settings of others. Her Famous Five, Secret Seven, and Mystery series of books were widely read, and in the 1950s her Little Noddy series, featuring the adventures of Little Noddy, Mr. Plod the policeman, Big Ears, and other characters of Toyland Village, enjoyed enormous popularity and made her a household name. Blyton’s books feature clearly delineated good and bad characters and have exciting plots that illustrate traditional moral lessons.

Her vocabulary and prose style are simple and highly accessible to beginning readers. Blyton came under some criticism for her stereotyped characters and simplistic viewpoint, but her remarkable popularity with young readers has remained undiminished, and new editions of her books continue to appear. By the early 21st century her books had sold some 400 million copies and been translated into at least 90 languages. In 2009, in honour of the 60th birthday of Blyton’s Noddy character in Noddy Goes to Toyland, Blyton’s granddaughter Sophie Smallwood published a new Noddy book, Noddy and the Farmyard Muddle, with illustrations by Blyton’s own illustrator, Robert Tyndall. Learn More in these related articles: Well Done, Noddy! by Enid Blyton Review by Terry Gustafson The Noddy Books "... represent the reduction to surely final feebleness of all the elements of children's fantasy." Ed. Blishen — 1967 Blishen speaks in relative terms — surely all children and their associated toys and reading matter can be classed as feeble when adults compare them with their own interests.

By the same token, children, if they had the sophistication, could describe grown-ups' play-things and reading matter as complicated and boring. It seems that some adults can't help criticizing children for their propensity to be childish so I must remember to include a little Proust when the kids require a bedtime story. If it wasn't for Enid Blyton, Noddy would lead an extremely blissful life. From his humble beginnings as a Waif in the Woods he has risen to the status of model citizen in Toy Village. He has a very good friend (Big Ears), his own little house, a garage, and of course a car and he's working as a taxi-driver. Yes, it's life without a care until Enid Blyton comes along and spoils it for him — but only temporarily. If untoward happenings didn't occur in Noddy's life then the stories could be classed as Feeble and that mustn't be allowed. In this book, Noddy begins the day with one of his poetic compositions which he sings lustily and a very good effort it is.

He's washing his car and his rambling renditions sound very merry and bright to the milkman who calls by with a bottle or two for which he is paid by being allowed to nod Noddy's head for him. How that little interlude can be considered 'Feeble' I really don't know. Yes ... Noddy's a lucky fellow all right and with the milkman gone, he's off to the shops to buy some food and when he returns the preparations begin because Big-Ears is coming to dinner. It's not to be though because EB waves her wand and causes poor Big-Ears to experience a road accident by running his bike right into Jumbo. Everybody knows, not only what a 'Jumbo' is, but it's common knowledge that when you crash into something big you come off second best and that's exactly what's happened to Big-Ears. Noddy learns the news from the grapevine in the form of Mrs. Tubby who's his next door neighbour and he immediately jumps into his car and speeds off to help his good friend.

He finds him sitting on a bench and nursing a very sore head with a handful of rubber-neckers and Jumbo nearby who's too big and too strong to be all that much affected however he's pretty angry about the accident. He's pulling bits of bicycle off himself and carrying on about the eggs he'd just bought — presumably they're all smashed. Noddy's only concern is for Big-Ears who's very sore and, horror of horrors, his bicycle is no more. Sally Skittle remarks "What a pity. Whatever will Big-Ears do now — what a good thing he has Noddy for a friend." — and that's a comment with lots of truth in it. This is an excellent opportunity for Noddy to return a few of the favours that Big-Ears has done for him in the past and no time is wasted. He takes the brownie home with him and bundles him into his own bed because he's going to look after him until he's better.

Big-Ears is a little plump to fit comfortably into a pair of Noddy's pyjamas but he manages after a fashion and then the doctor is called and his advice is for Big-Ears to stay in bed and NOT TO WORRY! That's all very well but how can he not worry when his precious bicycle is ruined? The preliminaries are taken care of — Sally Skittle will live in Big-Ears' house to make sure no one comes in and takes anything (her own place is being painted). Whiskers who is Big-Ears' cat, is brought in to keep her master company and she purrs so much that Noddy creates another of his little songs to act as a rough interpretation and I think it could be his best effort yet — "Stroke me please Because I'm purry" ... and so on for a further six lines of lilting lyrics. Noddy now realizes he must Do What Must Be Done and that's to, not only care for his friend, but he also wants to replace the ruined bicycle. Big-Ears with his bike is as much of a Toy-Village icon as Noddy is with his car so money has to be earned and lots of it.

Noddy has a brilliant idea. He plants a peppermint drop, a bull's-eye and a toffee so that when they grow into bushes they will yield hundreds of sweets in kind and then they can be harvested which means that Noddy can bag the confectionary and then he can sell all of the stock and this will bring in lots of money which will enable the purchase of a new bicycle (that lived in the House that Jack Built). Unfortunately, Noddy has quite a bit to learn as far as horticulture is concerned. Whilst waiting for his bushes to grow, he casts around in his mind for another way to make some quick money — we're all waiting for the penny to drop, and sure enough it does. His Talent, his Calling, his Poetic Leaning rises to the surface — he'll write songs about his friends and see if they'll buy them so he sets to work and sure enough the sixpences are soon rolling into his money-box. He becomes quite famous for his little ditties and he even creates one for Jumbo which takes him quite a long time because Jumbo, being what he is, requires a Large song.

Big-Ears is getting to be much better and a new bicycle is just on the horizon when suddenly, along comes Enid Blyton again to deliver some ointment with a large fly in it! Noddy receives a request for some delivery work and off he goes to collect some sacks and take them to Red Goblin Corner. The word 'Goblin' bodes a little 'umpty' but Noddy is delighted with the pleasant thought that he'll receive seven sixpences for his work. Seven sixpences totals three shillings and sixpence which will boost him on his way to earning enough for Big-Ears' new bicycle which might cost anything from ï¿½20 upwards. He trundles off to Ahoy Cottage and finds no one there — perhaps Mr. Sailor Doll, the owner, has gone to sea but anyway the industrious little Noddy hunts around and discovers half a dozen sacks of something or other in an outhouse. He hauls them out and transports them to Red Goblin Corner where he stuffs them all under a bush to await collection. That night whilst Noddy and Big-Ears are in bed together, Mr. Plod the policeman calls.

Noddy is in trouble because some sacks have been stolen from the Sailor Doll's cottage. Well, we all know who took them but now there's a little bit of explaining called for. Big-Ears sticks up valiantly for his friend of course but it looks rather grim because it turns out that the person who told Noddy to collect the sacks was Mrs. Tubby from next door and she was simply passing the message on from a red goblin whom she had met in the village. Uh-Oh! Noddy is innocent as we know but Mr. Plod in this particular case acts a little Goonish by not wanting to consider the intricacies of the situation. Noddy took the sacks and that's all that matters — he'll have to pay for them! Poor old Noddy. After all his efforts to save for a bicycle in order that he can surprise his dear friend, he has to part with every penny in his money-box and that's 15/- (fifteen shillings).

This is a terrible blow and Noddy cries bitterly but when he is urged by Big-Ears to see if he can hunt out the real offender he adopts a 'Fierce' attitude and when Noddy gets 'Fierce' you'd better look out! He gets dressed and departs in his car to where he had left the sacks — have they been collected yet? No, they haven't. Good! He hides and waits ... and the result of this story is similar to the conclusion of all the Noddy tales so far — everything turns out fine. By that, do I mean Big-Ears receives a brand new bicycle? Well, of course but one could quibble about whether it's brand new or whether it's his old bicycle reincarnated but with a bigger lamp in front. Regardless of that, the fact is that Big-Ears and Noddy witness a very strange ritual the result of which is that Noddy's pal is once again mobile. Big-Ears is so pleased and feels so much better that he throws his head-bandage into the fire. Yaaaay ...
