The wishing chair would be amazing to have

My favorite character is Binky because he is smart and funny. This book is about children playing a board game in the playroom waiting for the wishing chair to grow it is wings. It has not grow its wings for long time at the same time Mollie said I hope that the magic isn't running out. When they sat on the floor playing together. They felt a breeze of wind had come. Wow... The children feel very happy indeed. When they looked back they saw the wishing chair growing wings so they went closer to the wishing chair and they find out that one of the four wings was gone. Because flying only with three wings, the wishing chair crashed down in the mountains. At last Peter and Mollie had to carry the wishing chair to Binky's great aunt's home, when they met up aunt, She gave Binky a jar of magic slim. When they used this magic slim. WOW... the most wonderful wings sprouted out, big and strong.

Imagine you had a magical chair that will fly anywhere you please and grant you any wish! My favourite characters are Mollie,Peter and binky. I also like the Slipperies because they're funny and love to play tricks! I sometimes play tricks on my brother too.

This fictional story about Molly, Peter and their goblin friend Binky, is a fun read. I find Binky very sweet and interesting. He talks about ‘The Faraway Tree’, also by Enid Blyton, which I would like to read. I like this book because it talks about magical potions and I am a big Harry Potter fan! I would recommend this book to everyone.

I liked it because they saved the chair. When Binky told his relative about "how to save the chair?" she helped them with a liquid. It was a fiction and I liked Mollie the most. I will definitely recommend to my friends.

I read a book called Off On A Holiday from A Wishing Chair adventure and it was written by Enid Blyton. In this story Peter, Binky, and Mollie went to meet Binky's aunt, but the five bad guys came and ripped the wings of the Wishing Chair. My favorite character is Binky because he is kind, smart, and brave. Yes I will recommend it to my friends and family.

It was quite a short story, but I liked it because they went to a place with their chair only having three wings, but when they got there they saw the sign of a town saying 'slipperies' and then part of their team went of to their aunties to get growing ointment for another wing, but while he was gone, the other two protecting the chair, saw the Slipperies run out from their town to where the chair was. They were jokers who liked joking. They did loads of jokes on them and one of them fell for it and cut all the three wings off. The other person came back from the aunties with ointment to grow one wing, to find all the other three wings were off! So, they all went back carrying the chair to his aunties and got three pots of ointment and had tea.
