The Meowing Chair Julie G Fox

When his grandparents tell him that they got a new meowing chair a little boy is curious to find out why this ordinary-looking chair has such an unusual name. He thinks that he knows anything and everything there is to know about furniture already. Nana's knitting chair, Papa's reading chair, Dad's working chair, Auntie Sue's come-in-and-have-a-cup-of-tea chair, eating chairs around the family's dining table, the dog's bed, even mum and dad's hugging chair are all familiar, but the meowing chair is all new. Your preschooler will be intrigued to find out why the new chair got such an unusual name.
