'The trouble with mum is the hats she wears ...' but that's far from the truth. Babette Cole's zany pictures show us mum for what she is --- a real live witch. Her antics make her anything but liked by the other parents but, as you would suppose, both she and her son are highly popular with the other kids at his new school. Hugely enjoyable and what makes it the more so is that from the short text alone you would never guess the trouble with mum.
