Tired of boring meals, Nutmeg uses the three wishes granted by a genie to ask for something different for supper, for breakfast, and for lunch. The magic spoon the genie gives Nutmeg stirs up not only a delicious supper but also the whole house, sending the occupants on a wild adventure that lands them on an island by breakfast time, where a delicious meal is set out for them on the beach, and leaving Nutmeg wondering what will be for lunch. The richly detailed illustrations depict the change of Nutmeg’s world from drab to light and colorful in this wildly imaginative story . ca

Nutmeg lives a very dull life with her old Uncle Nicodemus and Cousin Nesbitt. They eat nothing but cardboard for breakfast, string for lunch, and sawdust for supper.

So Nutmeg and her family sail off to new adventures! From the Hardcover edition.
