The children are a bit wiser in this installment of their adventures, though they still manage to have terrible trouble with their wishes. A fun ending. ( )

The same kids from Five Children and It are now back at their house in London. One Guy Fawkes night they get a bit too keen with the fire workings, doing some damage to the floor coverings.

The replacement has an odd egg in it. Out of this, they get a Phoenix, a magic carpet, and yet more wish stuff.

A wonderful tale of magic in the nursery. If you like Harry Potter, you'll love this book. I have a book with this cover, not a CD. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 014036739X, Paperback)

The four children acquired the magic carpet when they found a special fire egg -- it hatched in their nursery fireplace. The phoenix came from the egg, and when he saw their mother's new Persian rug, he showed them that it was a magical thing -- a flying carpet that would take them any time and that place they could wish for. Witty, genuine, full of timeless sympathy and childish sensibility, _The Phoenix and the Carpet_ offers a special ride through wonders for children of all ages. (Jacketless library hardcover.)
