One of the Best from Childhood, "While Mrs.Coverlet Was Away" tells about three children: Malcom, Molly and Toad (Theodore) who must help their nanny, Mrs. Coverlet, when their dad travels to New Zealand. They faced and battled many problems, their biggest was money. They came up with some super ideas for money though. One day the three children strolled through the door... Mrs.Coverlet had just got off the phone with a serious look on her face...something was horribly wrong.
Notes
