Five Children and It

One of my favorite books is Five Children and It, the E. Nesbit classic about children who discover a magical creature and have a series of adventures when he gives them one wish a day.

The movie, starring Kenneth Branagh and Freddie Highmore will be on STARZ tonight:

And the book is a great choice for reading aloud.
