description: With magic anything can happen.When Robert, Anthea, Cyril, Jane, and their baby brother start digging in the sand pit near their home, they find a strange and mysterious creature. It has eyes like a snail's, ears like a bat's, and a round body covered in fur.The children discover that It has the power to grant wishes. But granting wishes makes It very tired, so the children agree not to wish for too much.Even one wish a day, however, can cause unexpected adventures--especially if you wish for wings.
