Five Children and It Audiobook

" Really Really good. reminded me of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It draws upon the same themes as C.S.Lewis "

" Something of a disappointment after the wonderful Railway Children. This has some charms but is mostly just fairy stories set in the (then) modern day. "

" i don't get this book. would not recommend it. "

" Childhood revisited. I remember reading a red with gold lettering copy of Story of the Amulet borrowed from the library when I was 8 or 9. I think the story isn't complete till you read all three parts. Next up The Phoenix and the Carpet and The Story of the Amulet "

" Fun and a wee bit subversive, too. "

" The kids and I just finshed this one, it was a really fun story, we really enjoyed it. "

" It's an older book so I think it would be harder for kids to understand that time period. It was an ok read though. "

" I remember my mom reading this one to me when I was young... "

" Really cute story. Each of the kids gets a wish, it's cool because there is always a consequense to the wish. You get what you wish for. "

" Whimsical. Good theme of being careful what you wish for, unselfishly. "

" A cute book and a glimpse into the history of children's literature. While the book is simple compared to today's complex children's literature it is a sweet story about five children who 'find' a fairy and learn what it is like for their wishes to come true. "

" This is the archetypal children and magic story. Unless there's an earlier one. "

" just LOVED this book :D "

" A sandfairy gives five children their wishes every day. They just wish whatever comes out of their mouths, and they aren't always what they really want. "

" This book is about the adventures of five siblings who discover a creature that can grant wishes. It's hilarious! "

" A very nice English children's classic. Definitely worth a read. "

" I thought it was one of the most amazing books I have ever read!. The author's imagination is wonderful and I'm watching the movie tonight. "

" I found an audio book version of this particular tome. I'm listening to it while doing paperwork. This was not as good as I thought it would be. Don't think I will be looking for anymore books by this author. "

" I just read this for old time's sake - kids books are so great! "

" What happens when a Sand Fairy (psammead) grants indiscriminate wishes to a group of children? Wartime setting. Charming read. "

" I love E. Nesbit! How have I ever lived without her books?! She was recommended to me by a co-workers daughter years ago, and I wish I hadn't waited so long to read one of her books! She reminds me a lot of C.S. Lewis and The Chronicles of Narnia. "

" Who knew sandfairies were so ugly? "

" One of my favourite childhood books. "

" Five Children and It is about five siblings who find a sand-fairy who can grant them one wish each day. Like any story about wishes, something always goes a little wrong and they don't quite get what they bargained for. It's a sweet story. "
