A review by lizzie_purplephoenix
The Phoenix and the Carpet by E. Nesbit
4.0
*3.5 stars
I have fond memories of my late aunt reading this book as bedtime story in my childhood, and I love the mythical phoenix, so I was disappointed to find I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected, or as much as the first book about these kids (Five Children & It) . Could be I was no longer in the mood for another kids' book as I've read quite a few this month, but I found my mind wandering now and then, and then being a bit bemused about one or two of the strange circumstances they found themselves in! I think it's one I might enjoy more rereading my old physical copy from my childhood rather than the audio. Loyalty to my fond memory of it doesn't permit me to rate it any lower than 3.5 stars!
