You might want...oh, goodness, I love Edith Nesbit! You might want to try the sequel to 5 Children and It - The Phoenix and the Carpet? The kids get a magic carpet that grants wishes. It doesn't feature the Psammead (although as I recall he does come back in The Story of the Amulet?), but it's a lot of fun. The stories are similar - the children get three wishes a day and some are irresponsible but some are fun - but for the most part kids don't mind. Reading similar stories over and over helps their narrative skills so yay for that! It just sometimes gets boring for the adults inovlved.
