Mrs Pepperpot at the Bazaar

 

Mrs. Pepperpot has a problem—a huge problem—she shrinks! And when she shrinks she finds herself in all sorts of trouble. Mrs. Pepperpot has promised to make gingerbread for the school bazaar, but things get a bit tricky when she shrinks and is trapped under the mixing bowl! But that doesn't stop her going, and the three stuck-up ladies who mocked her gingerbread get more than they bargained for!

Alf Prøysen's Mrs Pepperpot books first appeared in the 1950s and were an immediate success. They have been loved by children ever since and have been translated into many different languages. Hilda Offen is a picture book illustrator who won the Smarties Prize in 1992 for Nice Work, Little Wolf. Since then she has illustrated many picture books, including Fred and Ted's Treasure Hunt.
