My book report :
The story is told in a very simple way using a small number of frequently repeated words. Four times, the same sentence is repeated, “And still the magic porridge pot went on cooking.” The pictures on each page offer lively details. “Stop, little pot, stop” was very important word at last. Please be careful when you use the magic porridge pot.

My Summary :
A little girl met an old woman. The old woman gave her a magic porridge pot. She learned how to operate the little pot. Her mother cooked some porridge with the pot. While she took a nap, the little pot went on cooking. The kitchen, the house, the street and the whole town at last were full of porridge. The little girl stopped the pot to cook. But the whole town is still eating porridge.
