Five Children and It (Adaptation)

Oxford Bookworms Library

By: Edith Nesbit, Diane Mowat - adaptation

Narrated by: Candida Gubbins

When the children dug a hole in the gravel-pit, they were very surprised at what they found. "It" was a Psammead, a sand-fairy, thousands of years old. It was a strange little thing - fat and furry, and with eyes on long stalks. It was often very cross and unfriendly, but it could give wishes - one wish a day. "How wonderful!" the children said. But wishes are difficult things. They can get you into trouble.

Critic reviews

"The most consistent of all series in terms of language control, length, and quality of storytelling." (David R. Hill, ELT Journal Review)

I liked it.

It was a good book and the reader is pretty good. I have read the book before, and the audio book is good
