I love wishing chair adventures because the characters nose-about and binky are so magical and make me think that magic is real.It was really interesting to read this special book because as we all know wishing land and wizards are not real but this book showed me magic exists by having a big birthday cake picture covering the whole page.I would recommend reading this book because its all about magical lands and fiction characters that I think most children will definitely like.

This book was great because it had tons of magical elements in the book. It was really enjoyable because one of my parents read the book when they were younger and recommended it to me. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Enid Blyton, magic, or fans of the wishing chair books.

I thought that this book was amazing and the words were really creative. I liked it when the wishing chair flew into a new entire world where they could wish for what they wanted.

My favorite character is Binky because he is very smart and his cousin Gobo has magic powers. After the wishing chair arrived at the land of wishes. They saw flowers like stars. In the land of wishes they made wishes for many days and they were all granted. However, they missed mother, so wishes went back home to spend time with mother and father.
