In this enchanting tale, the children encounter the Psammead while digging in a sandpit during their summer holidays. Each day, the Psammead offers to grant one wish, but the outcomes are never quite what the children expect. For instance, when they wish for money, they turn into gold themselves; when they wish for beauty, they attract unwanted attention from strangers. Through these whimsical misadventures, the children learn valuable lessons about gratitude, responsibility, and the importance of appreciating life as it is.
