I liked it . An old woman gave a child a pot so that they could have food. The pot made porridge and it got all over the town. All the people had to eat the porridge in the town.

I enjoyed reading this book because it was fun when the magic porridge pot overflows. This teaches you to follow instructions and not to forget, even if you're busy. This is story about morals.

The book was telling us how the girl and the mother not get hungry anymore because a magical lady who had powers gave them the magic porridge pot. The book also told us that you should always share your food to the kingdom so they don't become hungry and starve.
