One day,five children meet a fariy of sand. It can give wishes,so the children wish to it.
But things go wrong...

This book teaches me an important lesson that wishes we want to make true are always difficult to come true. But I don't like the end of the book. ( )

This story is fantasy. One day children find a sand-fairy,when they would go down into the pit to play in the sand. The fairy looks like very strange.His body is fat and furry. But he could give wishes only one day.
It is an interesting story as a fantasy. I'm jealous of the children because their dreams came ture. I wish I could have it. Anyhow it is exciting reading this book. ( )

Five children live in the white house on the hill. One day, one of the children, Robert, said "let's dig a deep hole-perharps we can get all the way down to Australia." When they dug a hole, something said something. Something said something was a sand-fairy.

This book contains some stories, and every story is interesting. If the sand-fairy grants their request and they are once happy, finally they are not happy. I want to read this book again. ( )

Five children's wishes is common for many children.So this book is good for us to remind a childfood.I like Psammead that is a sand fairy. ( )

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0194229734, Paperback)

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 ...
