Hi, Paula,
I'm glad you and your children are enjoying The Five
Little Peppers and How They Grew. I'm surprised that
you had to clean it up some, though. I thought PG
proofed the books before acceptance. I know I've done
some (before I became involved in bookshare, which now
takes all my spare time).
I also had The Five Little Peppers Grown Up and
Phronsie Pepper, but, being curious (and not
remembering the exact titles -- that was a *long* time
ago ) I did some checking, and there are several other
books in the series, at least one, ...Abroad, also
available from PG, and from books on tape and e-text.
The others are . . .Midway (so you think that means
as teenagers?), and At School (apparently the boys go
away to school). Maybe, some time, after everything
else is done, if I can find them I'll scan and submit
them -- along with Adventures of a Brownie.
