MOON LIGHT They reached Toyland. Big-Ears provide clothes and house. Firstly Noddy was not concerned has a toy but after a test he was declared as a toy. Noddy gets his car. As a self- employed taxi driver Noddy was very happy to drive his friends around Toyland in his little red and yellow taxi. When his taxi business is not doing so well, or when he needs help, Noddy turns to Big Ears. Noddy is kind and honest, but he often gets in trouble, either through his own misunderstand- ings, or because someone has played a trick on him. He is very childlike in his understanding of the world and often becomes confused as a result. Noddy's constant companion and household pet is the exuberant "Bumpy Dog." Noddy's best friends are Big Ears, Tessie Bear, Bumpy Dog and the Tubby Bears. Big Ears, who brought Noddy to Toyland, is the most important figure in his life. Big Ears and Noddy have rarely quarreled seri- ously: when Big Ears harshly scolded the very sensitive Tessie Bear for failing to control her dog. Tessie is a gentle hearted, gold bear who often wears a bonnet with flowers and a skirt. She is very kind and very loving towards all of her friends and neighbours. Bumpy Dog is Tes- sie's pet. He loves to run up and "bump" people over. 12
