Mrs Pepperpot

Book Synopsis

Mrs Pepperpot has a problem – a huge problem – she shrinks! And when she shrinks she finds herself in all sorts of trouble…

Poor Mrs Pepperpot has shrunk again and she’s set her heart on going to the bazaar. But with a clever disguise and a cunning plan, she’s soon dancing rings around the ladies at the fair!

Puss can’t wait for Mrs Pepperpot to shrink so she can whisk her away on an adventure. It’s a hair-raising journey, but brave Mrs P is soon rewarded with some very special treasure indeed.

Our Review Panel says...

These classic stories from Norwegian children’s author Alf Prøysen follow the adventures of Mrs Pepperpot, who magically shrinks to the size of a pepper pot at the most inconvenient times. Everyday tasks become big adventures and children love the funny escapades and Mrs Pepperpot’s no-nonsense approach to solving problems.

This illustrated version of a true children’s classic is brilliant for Reception-aged children.
