4-6Books 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.
