Book stands the test of time

I read this book waaaay back in 1979. I have dug in out from the depths of storage for my nine year old to read for his first chapter book, book report. He loves it as much as I did. I still remember the story and we talk about it after he completes each chapter. If you can get your hands on this book, I highly suggest it, and it is a really nice and easy read for kids.

A Real Page Turner!!! -By:KET(Grade 5)

While Mrs.Coverlet Was Away, an excellent book, draws you into its pages. It tells about three children:Malcom,Molly and Toad who must help their nanny (Mrs.coverlet) when their dad travels to New Zealand. They faced and battled many problems, their biggest problem was money. They managed to come up with some super ideas for money though. One day the three children strolled through the door... Mrs.Coverlet had just got off the phonewith a serious look on her face...something was horribly wrong.

Five Stars for Mrs. Coverlet!

A terrific children's book that stands the test of time. Enjoyable reading for both young and old, the book features great characters and gentle humor. Should be reprinted today!
