On his first day in the jungle, Giraffe discovers to his dismay that all of the other animals have mistaken him for a chair. Although he intends to set them right, something keeps interfering, until eventually he finds himself playing chair to a lion. Gathering his courage, Giraffe finally does speak up, giving the lion a good scare - talking chairs!
I don't know that it struck my funny-bone in quite the same way as the first, but I can see children who enjoy stories with a silly sense of humor quite getting a kick out of it. I Am Not a Chair is one I would recommend to anyone who enjoyed Ross Burach's previous foray into the picture-book world, as well as to those looking for new children's stories featuring a slightly zany sensibility. Feb 20, Garrett rated it really liked it Shelves: story-time. I couldn't begin to count the times someone did not recognize that I am not a chair.

Feb 22, Ms. Shoshana rated it really liked it Shelves: humor , preschool , animals , giraffe. I personally thought this was just ok, but worked really well with some preschool classes.

The children would have the opportunity to respond back and let me know what their thoughts are.

Which would lead me to my next question of "What animal is the book referring to as not a chair based on the cover"? This gives the children an opportunity to laugh and grasp their attention to want to learn more.
My final question I'd ask the children is, "How would you feel if people sat on you because they thought you were a chair"?
