About the Author
Jill Murphy is one of Britain's most treasured author-illustrators. She wrote and illustrated her first book, the bestselling The Worst Witch, while still only eighteen, and went on to create the award-winning Large family series, which has sold over five million copies worldwide and been adapted for television. Jill's other characters include a small monster called Marlon who starred in the acclaimed picture books The Last Noo-Noo and All For One. About The Last Noo-Noo, she says, "Planting noo-noos in the garden works wonders ... Trees take a long time to grow, and while children wait for their noo-noo trees, they tend to forget all about their noo-noos." Jill lives in Cornwall.
From Publishers Weekly
Marlon, a crocodile, doesn't need a noo-noo, a pacifier, all the time: "Only at night or if he's a little tired." Unfortunately, his grandmother insists he's too old to have a noo-noo at all. This tale may not be as memorable as Murphy's Five Minutes' Peace and subsequent tales about the Large elephant clan, but it ably showcases her droll wit. For example, after Marion's mother throws away all the noo-noo's, Marion hides one in a boot; the accompanying image shows Marion shaking out the hidden object from the footwear as if it were the last M&M in a box. Parents and kids will also nod in recognition at the dialogue ("He looks ridiculous with that stupid big thing stuck in his mouth all the time"). The expressive crayon illustrations humorously portray Marion's insistence on his pacifier despite objections by his parents and grandparents, as well as teasing by his peers. In all, an appropriately lighthearted look at a situation that will hit close to home for many toddlers. Ages 4-up.
