NEW? How can this latest Cole's Funny Picture Book of the 1990s look so like the oldest one from the 1880s?
You'll find the answer in the opening pages-if your attention isn't first taken by some mad game or activity; a giggly joke or a magic fortune- teller; or one of those special Cole- type puzzle-pictures...like the one here, showing the interior of the legendary Cole's Book Arcade where the first Cole's Funny Picture Book was born. Hidden in it, and far from obvious, is Professor Cole... Actually, you needn't know anything about one Cole's Funny Picture Book to get glued to another one. All Cole books are fun books for bright kids*, who never tire of them: Cole books don't just get read; they get worn out!
*A friend pointed out that "kids" are not really young people so we checked with 100 mother goats, who assured us that when they gave their bright kids Cole's Funny Picture Books they absolutely ate them up!
