I'm trying to find a couple of my favourite children's books for my own dc. I read them in primary school in the late 70's Unfortunately I can't remember the titles but know the main text of the books. If anyone knows the title of the books described I'd be very grateful.

Book 1: This was set in China and was about a chinese boy making a lantern from paper and wood. The lantern was so big that he caught it by the tail and flew away on it. Very little text and aimed at 4-5 year olds

Book 2: This was about a girl called Molly who was bored on a rainy day and started making pink and white fairy cakes which were stolen by a witch hiding in a tree. Aimed at 7-8 year olds
