The Enchanted Castle and Five Children and It by E. Nesbit, Sanford Schwartz, H.R. Millar

3.0

This was freaking cute. Five children find a little sand-fairy in a nearby rock quarry when they're away at a summer house with their family. It can grant one wish a day, and no matter what the children seem to wish, it just doesn't turn out right. Being as beautiful as the day is long is great in theory, except no one believes that you are who you say you are, since you look so different. Having wings to fly with is nice, except you end up very hungry feeding all that movement, and stealing food to have enough energy to fly home is never a good plan. 'Be Careful What You Wish For' has been done delightfully well here, and paced perfectly at a chapter a night for children.
