What is The Magic Porridge Pot about?

Rose discovers a wonderful little pot that can cook as much porridge as anyone could wish for. But there is one important rule: the magic words must be spoken to make it stop. When the pot is used without knowing how to control it, porridge begins bubbling, spilling and spreading everywhere. With lively rhyme, playful illustrations and plenty of repetition, this traditional tale follows Rose as she tries to bring the runaway porridge under control.
