Another year with Denise and Ned Toodles by Gabrielle E. Jackson
"Another year with Denise and Ned Toodles" by Gabrielle E. Jackson is a children''s novel written in the early 20th century. It follows imaginative Denise Lombard, her bright pony Ned Toodles, and new neighbor Hart Murray through a year of gentle, humorous adventures filled with pets, river outings, and family warmth. The tone is wholesome and lightly didactic, centering on kindness, responsibility, and the joys of animal companionship. The beginning of the
novel shows Denise daydreaming on a spring day, mimicking a wood-thrush and chatting to her pony before rescuing a muddy, howling child whose muddled name turns out to be Mabel Lilly Taintit. Denise celebrates her old goat Tan’s “birthday,” then meets Hart Murray, who becomes her fast friend; their play with the pets leads to Ned’s notorious prank of dumping Hart in a cow yard. We see Denise’s “sunset hour” with her wise mother, including a lesson in courtesy about postponing plans, followed by the cheerful christening and launch of Hart’s cedar rowboat, the River Kelpie. Pokey arrives for summer, a circus comes to town, and Ned’s high spirits carry the girls right into the parade before the family sets out together to see the show.
