Nesbit's enchanting classic, "Five Children and It," readers are introduced to five siblings - Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and their baby brother - who discover a magical creature known as the Psammead (or "It") while on vacation in the English countryside. This ancient sand fairy has the power to grant them one wish each day, but with a twist - the wishes often lead to humorous and unpredictable consequences.
