Reviews

On Jun 28 2019, a reader said:

Noddy meets Bumpy dog for the first time when he has an accident and Noddy bandages his paw. The next time he comes to Noddy's house and after tea, Noddy turns him out at night, forgetting to lock the door after him. A thief enters the house and steals Noddy's hard-earned money. How Bumpy helps to recover it and catch the thief forms the rest of the story. Jumpy Bumpy toppling down everyone, including bumptious Mr Plod is very funny indeed! It reminds one of Mr Goon and Buster, doesn't it?
