Customer Reviews

Very clever and amusing book!

My family loves this book - it is unique and fun to read. Great pictures and the rhyming text is very clever. I highly recommend it.

You never know what might turn up!

Really fun book for kids (and adults) to read..some far out things are recovered "in the chair"!! Outlandish, but truly interesting book!

A funny fantasy of a simple chair's riches

Kids ages 4-7 will welcome another Mahy presentation: here a read-aloud story about a father who's lost his car keys. A frantic search leads a child to suggest the back of the chair - from whence all wonderful and amazing lost items are found. A fun rhyming text blends with fine drawings in a funny fantasy of a simple chair's riches. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
