[twister#1]

what is one,what is the story about this creature,can any1 tell me about this mythological creature,

[Octavius]

'It' is a Psammead, an ancient, ugly and irritable sand fairy the children find one day in a gravel pit. It grants them a wish a day, lasting until sunset. But they soon learn it is very hard to think of really sensible wishes, and each one gets them into unexpected difficulties. Magic, the children find, can be as awkward as it is enticing.

It is a made for film creature, the book/film being 'Five Children and It".

dont go and see the film, buy the book and read it!

[QmunkE]

It was also a brilliant children's series, back in the days when programmes had better production values.
