Love this book! Mr. and Mrs. O'Grady are poor and share everything they have with each other. But what they really long for is friends. Mr. O'Grady discovers a buried pot while working in his potato garden which proves to be magic. Any item you stick inside it will automatically make a duplicate! They have fun testing it out, and realize it can do a lot more than double potatoes. But will this pot truly make them happy?
A good character lesson could include the O'Grady's lack of greed, and how how they never overdid it. Students could discuss what they would put in the pot.
To enrich the experience of reading this book, please see me for some Suzy Red activities that provide the critical thinking associated with the storyline.
