I love books like this one that contain beautiful illustrations but more importantly teach amazing life lessons such as kindness and empathy. Although I'm already 40, I've been lured by the lessons this book teaches and hope to buy the book soon.

Sounds interesting for young auditorium, but unfortunately, at the moment I have no intention of acquiring Children's Books. Still, I can certainly see its value in both educational and entertaining fields, and I am going to add it to the list of books that I hope will be downloaded and gifted next Christmas to kids. Thanks a lot for your recommendation and congratulations on BOTD!

The Movie Chair is the story of a caring little chair in a movie theater who is particularly fond of the weekends when children come to the theater. This delightful chair takes great pleasure in hiding coins in her cushions so that the children can buy snacks, poking rude adults with her spring, and being involved in many other weekend calamities.

When all seems well, adversity strikes when the movie theater is remodeled, and the chair finds herself learning a new lesson on a different adventure than she ever expected. But things have a way of working themselves out by having faith. I know that The Movie Chair will reach children and touch many hearts

It seems like a pretty good book, a chair that protects the children and also at the same time had fun while the children are around I truly wonder where the chair ended up after the renovation I guess I'm pretty interested in reading this children story.

Congrats to the BOTD author! I hope kids will enjoy the book. I have never seen a chair as a story's protagonist; that was unique. Plus, getting a 5/5 OBC rating means the book is worth the time.

The chair is beautifully captured on the cover page, and children will love it and find this story relatable since they like to play and give life to inanimate objects. This is a sweet and simple book that children will enjoy reading. Congratulations on being BOTD!

What you give you shall receive; this is the message that I got from reading what I did about this book. I wonder what ended up happening to the movie chair after the reservations were completed. Thanks for the review!

The author's ability to infuse lessons of kindness and compassion into the story is commendable. I'm particularly curious about the chair's fate after the renovation - it's a testament to the engaging storytelling that leaves me wanting more.
I believe in something greater than myself.

A detailed and thoughtful review, thank you. This book imparts valuable lessons for children to use in their daily lives. The importance of showing compassion and kindness to others is conveyed in the heartwarming way that the chair interacts with children and the beautifully crafted illustrations ensure a magical and charming read.
