Mrs. Pepperpot's Outing introduces readers to the endearing Mrs. Pepperpot, an ordinary old lady with an extraordinary secret: she frequently shrinks to the size of a pepperpot. When she shrinks, she gains the magical ability to understand and speak with all animals, leading her into a variety of 'tricky situations' from which she always manages to cleverly cope. This collection of stories is perfect for children aged 4-11, offering gentle fantasy, charming problem-solving, and a celebration of resilience. It's a wonderful read-aloud for younger children and an engaging independent read for older elementary students, fostering imagination and empathy.
Each time Mrs. Pepperpot shrinks she encounters an animal that becomes a pet when she returns to normal size.
