Whenever a young black boy makes a mess, his mother threatens to
take him to Mrs. Cole's ramshackle house. One day, disinclined to
cio his chores, he runs away and ends up (after some trepidation)
at the dreaded neighbor's - where he finds a cheery, red-checked
matron in a Mick Jagger apron, a gaggle of friendly children, and a
household nearly buried under clutter. He gets such a hearty
welcome that thereafter his mother's threat has become a reward -
"If you're good, you can go and play at Mrs. Cole's." Foreman
darkens his frequently fiery colors to reflect the ominous drift of
the boy's imaginings; for more fastidious readers, the reality may
seem like a nightmare - and an unsanitary one, at that. This
decidedly minor effort was originally published in Great Britain
(and briefly available here in 1986); the language has been
Americanized for those who can't figure out what a "telly" or a
"pram" is. (Kirkus Reviews)
Whenever he is naughty, a young boy's mother threatens him with Mrs
Cole, who appears to be a disreputable character living nearby in
total chaos. One day he runs away from home and finds himself
outside Mrs Cole's house. She invites him in and he discovers that
Mrs Cole's noisy, kindly house is welcoming and warm and far from
being frightening. 'Funny, touching and true' Sunday Telegraph 'One
of the most outstanding young children's picture books for some
time.' Financial Times
