A Magical Adventure with a Tiny Twist - Mrs Pepperpot

In Mrs Pepperpot at the Bazaar, written by Alf Proysen and published by Penguin Random House, young readers aged 3–5 are invited into the charming world of a woman with a very unusual secret—she sometimes shrinks to the size of a pepper pot!

This time, Mrs Pepperpot has promised to bake gingerbread for the school bazaar. But just as she starts mixing the dough… she shrinks! Trapped under a mixing bowl and surrounded by chaos, will she still make it to the bazaar? And what will happen when three snooty ladies mock her miniature creations?
