If something is completely beyond saving I remove any nice plates or interesting poems/stories so my reject box is usually pretty empty.

Noddy is so well-known in the UK I assumed he was known the world over, but that’s obviously not the case. Noddy is a little boy made of wood who lives in a house for one in Toyland. He was made by a woodcarver (shade of Pinocchio!) but ran away from the woodcarvers shop after being scared by a wooden lion. He meets Big Ears a friendly gnome who decides that Noddy must be a toy, and that’s how he ends up living in Toyland. In the second book in the series, Noddy becomes a taxi driver and likes nothing better than driving his friends around in his little red and yellow taxi. The other toys always know when Noddy is near because of the distinctive parp, parp noise from his taxi’s horn and the jingle of the bell on his blue hat! The book feature in this post is a collection of stories about Little Noddy. <br />Still listing - but I don't mind as it's one of my favourite occupations!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-45726961480945964182013-06-11T07:47:11.284+01:002013-06-11T07:47:11.284+01:00Thanks Diane, I thought so too!

I was very heavy handed as a child and if something moved I always wanted it to move more!<br />If you do want to buy a Beano or anything else be sure to contact me before ordering as I can usually move a little on the price or cost of shipping. xx<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-22417964335587088522013-06-11T02:26:17.209+01:002013-06-11T02:26:17.209+01:00What a great collection.

The New Big Noddy Book caught my eye because I don't know what noddy means.

I can’t say for sure because I no longer have the book but having checked on Google someone on Etsy is selling a print of the picture with the same words, so it must be right. I love that picture too, that’s why it has a permanent home on my blog. Thanks for calling in. Barbara.
