Family

At some point or another, we have all said something like, “I wish that…”, haven’t you? Now imagine if you got your wish. These children did! However, none of them went quite as planned… Then, after their wild wish adventures, they meet a phoenix! Not only can the phoenix talk and tell them about a magic carpet that can travel time, but it shows them where they can find it. Who needs wishes when they have that?

The Five Children and It, by Edith Nesbit
When Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother go digging in the gravel pit, the last thing they expect to find is a Psammead – an ancient Sand-fairy! Having a Sand-fairy for a pet means having one wish granted each day. But the children don't realize all the trouble wishes can cause . . .
 
The Phoenix and the Carpet, by Edith Nesbit
It's startling enough to have a phoenix hatch in your house, but even more startling when it talks and reveals that you have a magic carpet on the floor. The vain and ancient bird accompanies the children on a series of adventures through time and space which, magic being what it is, rarely turn out as they were meant . . . This sequel to Five Children and It continues the magical adventures of siblings Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother.
