Noddy series were my first books!!I think, i was 3 years old as I regularly got the book every week from my parents. I remember, how Noddy was always helpful to his neighbours..and the other figures,such as Mr.Plod (he's a policeman) and the one with the big ears (i forget his name), are also really sweet. Anyway, i'd definitely give these books to my children as well (when I have some one day..hehe)
