I as a parent of a soon to be 4 year old absolutely love this and I'm sure Mr. Gatsby will too. How cute and wholesome an idea as writing a book about the life of a chair and the illustrations are wonderful very unique style :)

This sounds like such a cute and funny book. I would never thought about making a chair protagonist, it is quite remarkable and creative.

The lessons you mentioned around kindness, diligence in our roles, and treating others well all seem like valuable takeaways, especially for young readers. I agree that the concept of good deeds being rewarded is an uplifting one for children. Thank you for the review.

The concept of a chair showing emotion is quite weird. However, I think the main message of earning rewards from kindness is well portrayed. Congrats on botd!!

A movie chair that comforts kids while they watch movies? This will definitely be a favourite with the kids. Unfortunately, I don't read children's books, so I'll be skipping this one.

I have bought and read many books to my kids and can honestly say that I never encountered such a concept before. Definitely interesting enough to read despite my age and see how well deserved such a high praise is)) Sincerely congrats with BOTD!

A very cute story about a movie theatre chair who loves children and looks after them. The illustrations are fun and set in black like being in the dark in a movie theatre. Nice short pieces of narrative per page.

The idea of a movie chair that looks after the children's well-being in the movie theater sounds cute and adorable. I really hope that this lovely chair found a new place and everything ended well for it even after the renovation. I can imagine kids will love this story. Thank you for the wonderful review!

A children's book that will make the readers laugh, cry, and also learn important lessons on kindness. A movie chair that enjoys children's company and takes care of them when they visit the theatre. But the movie theatre renovation leads to its disposal. What lies in store for the movie chair? Children would definitely enjoy this book. Your review is great.

Sounds like a fun read. the way the chair interacts with the children in the story is funny yet heart-warming. It has soft spot for children but not adults. This would be nice to discover the chair's fate after the renovation. Thank you for the well-written review.

The book is a perfect read for kids and adults who love children's literature. It is educational with captivating pictures. The writers aim was to teach kids kindness and love for one another.

The mention of a chair capable of wiping off children's tears took a while for me to comprehend. But then I remembered this is a children's book and inanimate objects can be personified. Hope the chair has a happy ending at least.
