Five Children and It E. Nesbit

FIVE CHILDREN AND IT The Five Children Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and Hilary the baby go to the country, they decide to go digging in a sand pit. There they find a furry creature with two horns on its head holding its eyes. The creature is the Psammead, a grumpy sand-fairy, the last of his kind, who grants a wish a day. Soon they find their wishes never seem to turn out right and often have unexpected consequences. The Five Children and IT offers a generous amount of fantasy, humor, and adventure, as the children are repeatedly subject to wishes gone comically wrong.
