Peter's Chair

Great author and stories for young children.

I remember this from when I was a child and bought a copy for my own kid. It's an adorable story about a mildly bratty kid learning a life lesson and learning to share with his newborn sister. Great art style too.

I bought most (8) of the Ezra Jack Keats series for my 2 year old. Love that I can give him a series of stories with the same main character who is also a little black boy on an adventure.

This book is a classic. Keat's Peter is such a sweet kid, dealing with typical sibling jealousy. His "running away" is hilarious, as is his "hiding" in the house. Both are very gentle and realistic. His parents roll with the flow and stay in the background of the book, letting Peter come to his own realizations about the new baby.

This was a gift for my grandson. He loves Peter and all of his adventures.

I first bought this book for my daughter who is almost 60. It was one of her favorite books because she had a little chair that she loved. Since then I buy Ezra Keats books for grandchildren and friends. It is always well received.

This is an amazing book. It’s perfect for children who are about to gain younger siblings. I get to as a gift for the ones I know. Also, when I first encountered this book in the 80s, it was one of the few I could find with non-white characters.

Charming classic story about a little boy with a new sibling. I had such fond memories of it from my childhood and it holds up to those memories!
