A wish a day keeps the...what is it away?As full of imagination as you woul expect from a Nesbit book, this is book one in a duology (I think) and book two is The Phoenix and the Carpet.Whilst on summer holiday, the children find a magical "sand fairy" that looks sort of like a plush kiwi bird with snail's eyes. It has been sleeping for about 2,000 years and all it remembers is a world with extinct creatures and better behaved children.Of course all he wishes get turned topsy turvy. I was reminded of the gifts of faith and imagination. Many times nobody believes the children or they handle the situations in extreme almost unfeeling ways. It makes you think that maybe we all need to think outside the box. I took off one star for pacing and another for tone. I thought both could have been a bit better.
