SuitabookAdventures of the Wishing-Chair / The Wishing-Chair Again / More Wishing Chair Tales
Enid Blyton
- Reading
- Try the first book together, pausing after an adventure to talk about which details your child enjoyed; then decide whether to continue with the other two books.
- Themes
- Magical journeys and wishes: Mollie and Peter’s chair takes them to magical and unusual places, including a giant’s castle and a magician’s castle. Magic is central to the adventures; whether the stories set rules or consequences for using the chair is unclear.
- Rescue and friendship: In one episode, Mollie and Peter rescue their pixie friend Chinky from a giant’s castle; Chinky also looks after the chair while they are at boarding school. Chinky is presented as Mollie and Peter’s friend, and one episode involves a rescue; how danger or loyalty is treated is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- One described adventure includes a rescue from a giant’s castle. If peril in fantasy stories is a concern, you may want to check how that episode is presented while reading together.
