Mrs Pepperpot to the Rescue
Alf Proysen
Young Puffin
The story is about an old lady, Mrs Pepperpot. In the ordinary way she was just a little old woman whose children had grown up and gone away. But there was one odd thing about her.. The way she would suddenly shrink till she was no bigger than a pepperpot. And ones she had shrunk she wasn?t ordinary at all!
One day she helped a little girl named Rita. She got her find flowers and went with her to school. Normaly, Rita wasn?t very smart in class. But this time, Mrs Pepperpot helped her to answer all the difficult questions. The teacher didn?t notice Mrs Pepperpot because she was so tiny. (Mrs Pepperpot never liked anyone to see her when she was tiny.)
I think it?s a very cute childrens book! I like the character of Mrs Pepperpot. She always likes to help other people. The illustrations are also very nice, because you can imagine the story.
When at last the two of them were walking home, Rita said, ?why did you help me all day when I was so horrid to you this morning??
?Well,? said Mrs Pepperpot, ?Perhaps it was because you were so horrid. Next time maybe I?ll help that Miss Snooty of yours. She looks pretty horrid too, but she might be nice underneath.?
I choose this passage because I think it?s so sweet of Mrs Pepperpot. J Maybe the writer meant something to say with it. It tells me, that you need to help people, even when they are ?horrid?. Because they can still be nice underneath!
