‘Magic Porridge Pot’ a traditional tale illustrated by Tania Hurt-Newton
Once upon a time there was a little girl who was so poor she often had nothing to eat – she was very hungry a lot of the time. One day she was given an amazing present, a magic pot which made porridge whenever she spoke the special words – she need never be hungry again. But what happens when her mother forgets the words to stop the pot? Why not make some tasty porridge following the instruction cards?
