Bookroo's summary
A little girl possesses a magical porridge pot that never stops cooking. When her mother tries to use it without knowing the secret words, the pot runs wild, flooding their home with porridge. Can they stop the endless flow before it's too late? Discover the whimsical chaos in this enchanting folktale.
From the publisher
The porridge pot always produces food for the little girl, but it runs amuck when her mother tries to use it. “A familiar folktale is given a medieval setting in Galdone’s lively, sunny pictures which have the effect of posters with their clear blocks of color.” – The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
