Five Children and It

Make a wish with E. Nesbit’s delightful children’s classic, *Five Children and It*. When five siblings—Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and the Lamb—dig in a gravel pit, they uncover a grumpy, ancient sand-fairy known as the Psammead. The creature grants them one wish a day, but there’s a catch: the wishes turn to stone at sunset, and they almost always go hilariously wrong. From growing wings to becoming beautiful, the children’s adventures are filled with chaos and laughter. A timeless tale about the perils of getting what you want, this book is perfect for family reading.
