The Last Noo-Noo is a funny story about a Monster called Marlan and his love for dummies, 'noo-noos'. Marlan's family are desperate for him to give up his noo-noo but every technique they try fails. Even the other monsters who tease Marlon for having one can't stop him.Strzyżyńska, Weronika (20 August 2020). "Jill Murphy, children's author and illustrator, dies aged 72". The Guardian. Craig, A.
