This
book is a Puffin Classic. The
children in this book are the same ones in ‘the Five Children and It’ & ‘The Amulet’. Their names are Robert, Anthea, Jane, Cyril and baby Hilary, or as called in ‘the Five Children and It’ – Lamb. If you don’t know the story or have forgotten it, then I will jog your memory: It is about a second hand
carpet that was bought for the nursery which had magical powers; it could transport them to wherever they wanted to go; also, a strange
egg dropped out of it and it was the egg of a phoenix… I thought that this book was ok. It was a bit boring at parts but some of the bits were more thrilling than going to the circus or even to Alton Towers! I would rate the book, overall, 8/ 10 and would recommend it to all!
