Madame Pamplemousse and Her Incredible Edibles

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Sue Hellard. Madeleine is the unfortunate niece of restaurateur térrible Monsieur Lard. Though his creations are abominable, he longs to be a renowned chef, so he sends Madeleine to spy at Madame Pamplemousse's appetizing shop. Befriended by Madame, Madeleine emerges confident, and Lard is sent packing. This old-fashioned Parisian fairy tale, illustrated with sketchlike black-and-white drawings, is full of wit and whimsy.
