Five Children and It

(2) 4-6 Books of Wonder series. Illustrated by Paul O. Zelinsky. A gift edition of the classic fantasy, originally published in 1902, in which a cranky Psammead grants wishes to the five children who unearth him--wishes that never quite turn out as expected and usually have hilarious consequences--features twelve appropriately Edwardian watercolor paintings by Zelinsky.
