When Mollie and Peter go to buy their mother a birthday present, they discover the most extraordinary thing: a chair that can fly and grant wishes!

It is a good book. It has fairytales and stories about Peter, Molly and Chinky. I found the notion of a flying chair unique because I had never heard about a flying chair. The cover of this book is beautifully illustrated. I liked Chinky the pixie because he was quite cooperative with the kids throughout the story. Yes, I would recommend this book to children only because it is a fantasy story.

I rate this 5/5 because the book is very interesting . So it started with these two kid's Mollie and Peter went to buy their mother a gift and they found a shop with a chair that magically grew wings and they sat on it and said 'home' and ended up finding a a pixie who told them how to use it .

I like the wishing chair because it is about adventures. I like when wizard Ho Ho ate the chocolate and he fell asleep.
