A reissue of a title which deals humorously with a child's fear and presents positive images of race and class difference. A young boy is threatened with being taken to his neighbour, Mrs Cole if he is naughty. When he eventually meets the lady and her large family he is suprised, rather than frightened, by the welcome he receives.

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.

She invites him in and he discovers that Mrs Cole's noisy, kindly house is welcoming and warm and far from being frightening.
