Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Everything is always the same for Nutmeg, her Uncle Nicodemus, and her Cousin Nesbit. They eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch, and supper everyday, and nothing neweverhappens. Until the day Nutmeg decides to take a walk. And that's wheneverythingstarts to happen: a mysterious genie gives her a mysterious spoon that whips up a feast for supper--and they have something different to eat! But the spoon keeps on whipping, and soon it's whipped up the house and everything in it, and the whole house sets sail. To where, they don't know, but the promise of something different for breakfast and lunch helps them realize thatdifferentisn't always bad. In this wholly original story about coping with changes, David Lucas has created a kindred spirit to his debut picture-book character,Halibut Jackson.
Bored with her meals of cardboard, string, and sawdust, Nutmeg acquires from a genie a magic spoon to make some different dishes but winds up with more than she bargained for.
