📚 Hoot Factor – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book was full of fun and surprises! I loved the magical creature, the Psammead, and how each wish the children made went hilariously wrong. It made me laugh and kept me guessing what would happen next. 🎨 Owl-some Illustrations – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ There were some sweet drawings that matched the magical and old-timey feel of the story. 💡 Little Owl’s Takeaway – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sometimes getting what you want doesn’t turn out how you expect! 💬 Hoot or Boot? – 10/10 Hoots – Wishful Hoot!

Book details

When Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother go digging in the gravel pit, the last thing they expect to find is a Psammead - an ancient Sand-fairy! Having a Sand-fairy for a pet means having one wish granted each day. But the children don't realize all the trouble wishes can cause . . . A timeless classic with an introduction by Quentin Blake, award-winning illustrator and first-ever Children's Laureate (1999-2001).
