Whatever your views on Noddy, one can only bow to the artistry of Cosgrove Hall Productions and, I feel, accept the inevitable-the children love 'em! I tried, honestly I did-surreptitiously putting them on the shelf, hiding them amongst other books, giving them none of the fanfare intros I often give new titles-but Noddy prevailed. They've scarcely touched the shelves and demands for re-reads have been deafening, so I suggest you don't try to fight it-just give in and buy them.
