A poem and a series of books

1 Do you recognise this start to an EB poem?
'I know three horses who live in a field, I visit them every day,
One's called Clipper, one's called Clop.....'
Can anyone tell me where I'll find this? I think it was in a book of her stories and poems but, oh dear, there are so-o-o many!
2 Also, trying to locate a series of Noddy books, issued in a small, square format, perhaps as a set. One contained the memorable little song: 'It isn't very good in the dark dark wood...' - gave me nightmares as a kid!

The book is the fifth one Here Comes Noddy Again! Hope you will find it and get memories of when you first read the book!

I checked the Book Listing and found that there's a poem called "The Three Horses" in the following book:

However, I don't have a copy of the book so I can't check if it's the right poem. It may have been reprinted in other collections as well.

Regarding the Noddy book, look out for a pre-1987 copy because changes were made to the illustrations and text after that date.

Anita Bensoussane is right. It is in Enid Blyton's New Storytime Book.

Thank you so much Anita!
The 1954 New Storytime Book - It's exactly the right book and I found one on eBay, I can't tell you how pleased I am!
